Clone drive does not boot

Thread needs solution

I am having a problem. I have 2 internal hard drives.
I cloned the active windows 7 drive and cloned it to an active new, formatted, blank hard drive.
When i go to boot up to the new cloned drive...It will not boot. It says "BOOTMGR is Missing" Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart. I have run check disk  on both drives with no problem. 
PLEASE HELP!  What can I do? 
Thanks, Fred

 

PS: I have already went through using the windows 7 disk, going into system recovery, command prompt and 
doing the following:   To no avail..........
 

  1. When Command Prompt successfully loads, type this command:

bootrec /rebuildbcd

  1. Press Enter
  2. Type the next command:

bootrec /fixmbr

  1. Press Enter
  2. Type the next command:

bootrec /fixboot

  1. Press Enter
  2. Remove the installation DVD from the disk tray and restart your computer
