Hi /wsr/,

I somehow managed to delete my boot mgr on win 7, I still dont exactly know HOW i did so... I was wiping the D:/ drive of my hdd, while windows itself is installed on C:/...

So I went to my parents place, getting me our windows disk, and wanted to fix that issue.
Turns out, for some reason my computer refuses to boot from the disk. Thought I may have burnt it wrong, so I got a second disk which Works perfectly fine on my dads computer.
Went into the bios, changed the boot sequences to cd/dvd drive only, and tried again.
Now I dont get the "boot mgr is missing" error, but something that tells me it cant boot and I should insert a proper boot media.

I can hear my cd/dvd drive working, the LED blinks, disk rotates and all but it wont boot for all i tried

Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this without simply throwing that pc out the window?

In the bios, try setting "compatibility boot mode" or whatever your bios calls it, and disabling secure boot.

Does that help things?

Windows 7 isn't signed for secure boot, so if it were ever on, the computer would never work.

were the c: and d: partitions on the same hdd, or were they different physical drives?
launch the cd from the bios boot menu (f8 or f10), dont change boot sequence. if the disk doesnt boot after your selected it then its a problem with the disk or the optical drive. try using a usb flash drive with the windows iso "burned" on it

This doesn't actually matter to WINLOAD: it locates partitions by GUID, and will look on every drive it or the BIOS has a driver for.

This is how OP managed to shag his bootloader but not his OS: the bootloader doesn't have to be on the same partition or even the same device.
