If you get an error something like cannot load bootmgr error when starting a computer, It is possible that it was cause from a computer virus and you may need virus removal, It possible it was caused by a hardware problem or corruption, so you should try booting from the recovery CD but if you get the same error, you need to dig deeper. There could be many reasons for this error. We will look at one possible solution that may help you to fix the error. This laptop computer would not boot from anything except the Vista Operating system CD. This is probably the worst case scenario.This is probably the worst case scenario.

This is a Dell laptop. This can happen if you wipe the C partition of you computer or if the files are damaged or corrupted somehow. This was the case today when a customer brought in the dell laptop, he had tried to reload the OS.
I was not certain what had happened with the laptop and I was not able to boot in any mode, (safemode or normal) Only the bootmgr error would show on the screen. I figured I would try my Bart PE disk (bootable CD with its own operating system) Well I was able to boot from the Bart PE boot disk and examine the hard disk. I could see that the recovery partition was still in place and seemed to still be intact.
Located in the recovery partition was a Tools folder that contained PCRestore and Imagex.exe In another location in the recovery partition was another folder or sub folder that contained an image file neamed factory.wim Once all this was located I wrote down the path to the Imagex.exe program and the location of the image file.
I closed the file viewing program that I was running in the Bart PE OS and opened a command prompt window.
I changed to the folder location that contained the Imagex.exe file and typed out the command, for Imagex.exe
to apply the image to the C partition of the hard drive, about 15 minutes later the computer was restored to factory condition. The command was somthing like this, imagex /apply d:dell/Image/Factory.wim 1 c: d:dell/Image/ is be the path to the image file Factory.wim is the name of the image file 1 means the first image
c: is the location to apply the image, being the boot partition for the laptop
That was all I needed to do, in this case. I hope that may help others solve this sort of problem
