I have been using the image create-restore function of BING to secure complete system backups of my Windows OS for years. In this case it is a Windows 7 image using the latest BootitNG. Upon restore I checked the partition was still active in view MBR but on booting to the hard drive get the above error message. Does anyone have any ideas for me please? I hope it is a careless oversight. I can reinstall the OS again but am afraid any subsequent image create-restore will only produce the same error meaning my imaging is useless!

Re: Bootmgr is Missing
Do you have the 100 MB partition with the boot files?
Not sure that is the message you would get with that being missing?
I updated to BIBM. It is more flexible.

Re: Bootmgr is Missing
Indeed I checked my working PC and of course it has a system reserved 100 Mb partition. When I view what I have on the nonbooting PC this is missing. Trouble is I elected, I think, to image the whole disk not a partition. I bought BIBM lately, I labelled my CD BootIt "v 2.04" . I am not aware there was a way of leaving out the 100 Mb partition, who would want to?!

Re: Bootmgr is Missing
I did a clean install myself and did not get it. I created and marked
Active before the install. Then it is not there.
Win 7 Home Premium doesn't need it. Pro might.

The above link describes how to do a repair. It should work.

Re: Bootmgr is Missing
the only way the partition wouldn't be in the backup is if the wasn't a full
backup (it will say partial next to the drive). It would only not restore
if it wasn't a full drive restore. So if you did a full drive backup, just
do a full drive restore.
