BootManager is missing?
I have two hard disk inside my computer one has the windows 7 installed properly and nicely and the other one is just full of videos. Whenever i put the other one in the pc says the bootmanager is missing and when i remove the other one my pc would start up fine. My other hard drive is Sata while the one with windows 7 is an old kind of hard disk that's not sata :v my theory is @..@ my pc mistakes the the second hard drive to be the one where the bootmanager is that or maybe there's something wrong with it?

Do one thing restart the system then when its booting press F10
and in that it shows boot device
CD/DVD ROM drive
HDD bla bla 1
HDD bla bla2
network loader
LAN card
try to boot from HDD bla bla1 if window started then its ok
if not then try the same with HDD bla bla 2
definatly its gong to start.
cause : properly attached the HDD
and your system took tht HDD(contains movie) as first boot device
go to BIOS setting then BOOT option
select Boot device priority to the OLD HDD wich conatins OS
then press F10 save the changes and restart
now you can boot from old HDD which conatins OS
and its booting properly then you can see the another HDD as new drive
tell if its not working

You should follow these bellow points....
1. Restart the PC. The BOOTMGR error could be a fluke.
2. Check your optical drives, USB ports, and floppy drives for media. Often times, the "BOOTMGR is Missing" error will appear if your PC is trying to boot to a non-bootable disc, external drive, or floppy disk.
Note: If you find that this is the cause of your issue and it's happening regularly, you might want to consider changing the boot order in BIOS so the hard drive is listed as the first boot device.
3. Check the boot sequence in BIOS and make sure the correct hard drive or other bootable device is listed first, assuming you have more than one drive. If the wrong drive is listed first, you could see BOOTMGR errors.
4. Reseat all internal data and power cables. BOOTMGR error messages could be caused by unplugged, loose, or malfunctioning power or controller cables.
5. Perform a Startup Repair of Windows. This type of installation should replace any missing or corrupt files, including BOOTMGR.
6. Write a new partition boot sector to the Windows system partition to correct any possible corruption, configuration problem, or other damage.
7. Rebuild the Boot Configuration Data (BCD). Similar to the partition boot sector, a corrupted or incorrectly configured BCD could cause BOOTMGR error messages.
8. Check the hard drive and other drive settings in BIOS and ensure they are correct. The BIOS configuration tells the computer how to use a drive so incorrect settings can cause problems, including BOOTMGR errors.
9. Update your motherboard's BIOS. An outdated BIOS version can sometimes cause the "BOOTMGR is Missing" error.
10. Perform a clean installation of Windows. This type of installation will completely remove Windows from your PC and install it again from scratch. While this will almost certainly resolve any BOOTMGR errors, it's a time consuming process due to the fact that all of your data must be backed up and then later restored.
11. Replace the hard drive and then install a new copy of Windows. If all else has failed, including the clean installation from the last step, you're most likely facing a hardware issue with your hard drive.

After inserting the second HDD, insert a DVD of OS and then go for the option recover OS. It will take a few minutes to install the bootmgr file and it will start working.
