My HP dv2000 will not boot the screen says BOOTMGR is missing

How To Fix BOOTMGR is missing Error in Vista and Windows 7

if you boot pressing F8 can you get to the repair option?

What do you mean by installing driver after format?
Format is a command that destroy all the data on your harddisk and creates new file system. This means that if you have formated your harddisk it is more or less probable that you don't have operating system anymore, so there is nothing to boot.

Change the boot startup order back to the hard drive as the first boot device in the BIOS. If you still have this problem then -

This may be due to the reason that your Compaq model is only Vista or Win7 Compatible.I didn't get your question properly but as you're having no windows or DOS in your machine.All you need is a Bootable Windows Disc and a working DVD rom to get this done.Cause commands or anything else will require that and even if you fix it with some tricks. Some Other file missing message may appear. But if you just want to push yourself. Normally are Booting files are in the root folder in my case it's in C:\ like NTLDR BOOT.ini BootSect.dos so try to access your root drive.

Press F2 immediately after you turn the power on.

This issue is with corrupted operating system files. To resolve this issue you need to repair the operating system.

To fix this, you'll need a Vista DVD and a working DVD drive. It doesn't have to be the original DVD that came with your computer, you can use any Vista disc.

Put the disc into your hard drive and boot from it. The process differs depending on your BIOS, but the most likely way is to go into your BIOS settings (Press DEL when the computer boots), search for "Advanced Settings" and for anything that sounds like "Boot Order", then change your first device to your CD/DVD Drive. Save the settings and reboot your computer.

Once you've booted from the disc, press "Repair" - you'll be greeted with a screen with several options. One of these should be "Startup Repair", press it and let it do its job. When it finishes, reboot your computer: your problem should be fixed now.



If this doesn't work, follow the same steps to boot from the Vista DVD, but this time choose "Command Prompt" when the option appears. In the command prompt type:

bootrec /rebuildbcd

Answer "yes" if it asks you about your installation path.
