I had to force shut down my computer twice today because it froze for an unknown reason. The first time I tried starting the PC again worked out but now I get the following error message every time I try to boot from my hard disk where Windows was installed.
BOOTMGR is missing
Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart.
I've also tried using my Windows 7 installation CD to get into the recovery options but it says that the version of Windows I have installed (Windows 7 Home Premium) is not compatible with the version of that CD (also Windows 7 Home Premium). Does anyone have a clue how I could fix this?
EDIT: Seems like the cable to the system hard drive was loose. Now I "only" get a bluescreen when I boot up Windows. It disappears far too fast to copy any information from there, though.
EDIT 2: This is strange. I switched the SATA mode from IDE back to AHCI and now not only the bluescreen is gone but everything works fine so far (at least until the login screen)
