Extremely Disappointed

Thread needs solution

I purchased ATIH 2012 a few days ago hoping to provide a level of comfort and security to my home PC. I did a fresh Windows 7 64 install, updated to SP1 and installed all drivers/programs etc. I installed ATIH and tried a backup of C (my windows drive) onto a WD mybook 2 Gig external drive. When I returned to the computer after a few hours I was surprised and upset to see a black screen saying "bootmgr missing...press ctl alt del to restart". Needless to say this doesn't work. I have tried repairing with the Windows CD...no help. My BIOS is even screwed...it's like the drive doesn't even exist anymore. The first step I took was to look in the BIOS to see if the boot priority got messed up...turns out the C drive isn't even there anymore???

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I do NOT really think, this is a ATIH problem.

Please check, if your HDD SATA and power connections are pluged compltely.

If so, please check again, if bios "sees" the HDD "physically". If not: Try another SATA Port / Powerplug.

If drive IS seen in bios try the following: Boot into windows setup cd;
Then do NOT use the automatic boot repair, but enter the command console and execute the two commands:

bootrec.exe /Fixbr

bootrec.exe /Fixboot

Then reboot and pray !

I appreciate what you are saying about connections, however, quite a coincidence that this connection mysteriously stopped working when I ran the backup? It has worked fine for 10 months now? I already tried the fixboot command with no change. Should I try both of these in that order?

Actually, now that I think of it, none of the hard drives C, E (raid 0), or F are even showing in the BIOS...so this is really impossible.

TI doesn't start working until after the BIOS has handed over to the boot sector, so if the disks are no longer showing in the BIOS TIH can't have anything to do with it.

Disconnect any external drives you may have and have only the booting internal drive connected (if you have more than 1 internal drive), see what the BIOS reports.
