Windows 7 Bootmgr Repair Disk
[UPDATE] You can still download a full Windows 7 DVD for free and legally, which can also be used as a fully functioning Windows 7 Repair Disk. Just make sure that you download the correct ISO that related to the operating system that you currently are running. You don’t need a product key to use the disk as a Repair Disk, but you will if you intend to actually install Windows. The link also allows users to download any version of Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.
Fix Windows 7 Restart Problems Using Free Bootable Recovery Disk - Recently Microsoft released a security update KB2823324 for Windows 7 users to fix some issues found in Windows file system kernel-mode driver (ntfs.sys). Jun 06, 2017 I try to recovery windows 7 in a brand new computer but it shows a black screen that saids 'BOOTMGR is missing press ctrl-alt + delect to restart' I'll done that but nothing happen and after it, shows the same thing, 'BOOTMGR is missing press ctrl-alt + delect to restart' and nothing happen. Hi Jerry, Please try the following suggestions to see if.

Please read this first as I have since removed the original Repair Disk links to the files due to a DMCA takedown request that I received. See link above to download a full Windows 7 DVD that will do the same job. Bear in mind that the download is bigger (max 3.1GB for Win 7 Ultimate x64)
Last year I received a DMCA take down notice via Microsoft’s Anti-Piracy department for one of the Recovery Disks that I had uploaded to Mediafire. This was for the Windows 7 32bit Repair Disk.ISO. I complied with their request, but left the mirrored links on Rapidshare. I spoke to their Senior Program Manager for Online Piracy Peter Anaman, who I have to say was very courteous and understanding as to why I created the disks. Here is a snippet of the emails discussing the notice:
Hi Peter,
Thank you for your message and bringing the present matter to our attention. I believe that your message is reference to the file http://www.mediafire.com/?ja7x8hmzrw***** that was entitled “Windows 7 32-bit Repair Disc.iso” and was located at http://www.********.net/mediafire/4******-Windows-7-32-bit-Repair-Disc-iso.html.
The file in question contains Microsoft copyrighted code and is not authorized for redistribution in the manner detected and for this reason, action was taken to have the file removed. You are correct that Microsoft authorizes genuine customers to create their own system images and instructions on creating these are contained in the documentation found within the operating systems help files as well as several online resources such as http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Back-up-your-programs-system-settings-and-files. As you may appreciate Microsoft offers operating systems that work on numerous hardware configurations and each of these, require specific drivers as well as configurations. In light of this, it is advisable for a user to create their own system image to better reflect their configuration rather than using a standard image that may not be appropriate for the system in question. We would encourage you to direct your readers to these instructions.
Can you please tell me who you contacted and what was asked as I may be able to assist you?
We thank you for your understanding in advance!
Kind regards, Peter
So as you can see, I wasn’t threatened in any way with criminal proceedings, but after a lot of thought have decided to remove the allegedly infringing links. It also appears that Microsoft’s anti-piracy team are still confused between what a Repair Disk is and a System Image disk (which they linked to in their reply)
I firmly believe that these disks should be made available by Microsoft on their servers for ease of access, as they give the user the ability to freely create them, but as you can imagine, most people either don’t realise this or don’t bother. I also believe that the PC manufactures are also very much to blame in the fact that they do not supply the full installation disk (90% of the time) with the computer that the user purchased.
You can still download these disks, but at a small cost via Neosmart who were the first people to make these disks freely available. However, they too were contacted by Microsoft’s Anti-Piracy department and asked not to link to the file. It is for that reason that they now have a licence via Microsoft to sell the disks. The price of the disks are $9.75 (£6.21) for all versions (32bit and 64bit). The reason for the costs is simply for the bandwidth and hosting of the files.
If you don’t want to pay for a Windows Repair Disk then you can always download the Windows 7 ISO of your choice freely and legally from Microsoft’s Tech Bench, which will work the same as a repair disk. Instruction on how to use a Repair Disk are below:
Once again, I am sorry that I have had to remove the links to the disks, and have put off doing so for a while as I know just how much they can help. If you are having issues where you require one, either use the link to Neosmart above to purchase one, or simply find a machine running the same version of windows as you are running (remember to check to see if it’s 32bit or 64bit OS) and create one for free yourself.
Sorry if this has caused an inconvenience and, should you have any questions please comment below.

Having a Repair or Recovery disk for Vista or Windows 7 can be a lifesaver when it comes to an issue with your computer running either of these Operating Systems if they refuse to boot. The trouble is, even though Microsoft have now given the user the ability to create their own Repair or Recovery disks, most people won’t bother, and will instead rely on the Windows Installation Disk that they bought.
The trouble with this is that people tend to either loose disks over time or, as will affect a lot of people, they simply didn’t get an installation disk with their new computer, so are left to their own devices should they come to use their computer just to find it won’t boot. People who have bought their PC’s from HP, Dell or some other manufactures will know this.
Drama serial aahat. The main reason that I have uploaded these disks to different file hosting sites is due to the fact that should people need one of these disks in a hurry then there will be a safe place for them to get one. The other reason is that even though you can find them via torrents, some people will either not wish to install a P2P client on their machine and then download it, or are restricted for other reasons and are unable to use P2P.
Please note that this is not a disk that will let you reinstall your operating system, but instead has some great tools built into it that will hopefully get you up and running again.
The use these disks is very simple. Just download the disk that corresponds to your operating system, for example you have a Windows 7 64bit OS, then you will need to download the corresponding Windows 7 64bit Repair Disk ISO. Once you have downloaded the ISO, burn it to a CD with a decent program like Imgburn or whichever you prefer and then boot to it.
How to use the Windows 7 Repair Disk:
Let’s say that you have started your computer one day to be greeted by the following message ‘BOOTMGR is missing’, or you need to make some other repairs to your machine via the disk like repairing the MBR or want to access the command Prompt or do a system restore. Place your System Repair Disk in to your tray and then boot the PC, making sure that you have set your computer to boot from CD in BIOS. If you are unsure as to how to do this please go here to see which button you need to press as your computer is starting to boot. On most computers it will probably be either DEL, ESC or F2.
Once your computer starts to boot with the disk in, you will be asked to ‘Press any key to boot from CD’, just tap any key (eg spacebar) a couple of times and it will start to load the information from the disk. Once it has loaded you will be asked to choose your language. As I am from the UK, the only option I changed was for the keyboard layout. Hit Next once you are ready.
Now this is important. You are using the disk as a Repair disk, not to install, so choose the Repair your computer option as indicated in the image below.
Once you have selected the Repair your computer option, the System Recovery options will appear.
- Use recovery tools that can help fix problems starting windows. Select an operating system to repair
- Restore your computer using a system image that you created earlier
If you have previously created a Restore Point then try choosing the 2nd option and follow the prompts. If you haven’t, then choose the first option which will let you use the recovery tools. For this article we will be choosing the first option.
These are great and will hopefully help you out. I have only had to use this disk once, and I chose the first option and selected ‘Startup Repair’ (That was what helped me, and you should try this first) This will attempt to fix your startup problem (for me it worked the first time, but you may have to repeat it). If you believe that your MBR is damaged then you can choose the option at the bottom ‘Command Prompt’ and enter “bootsect.exe /fixmbr” (without the quotes). The ‘Windows Memory Diagnostic’ option is similar (but not as good) to Memtest86+ and is used to check your system memory (RAM) for problems, which can also be one of the many causes for your system to not be booting/ working correctly. This is NOT a be all and end all fix for such errors, but it’s a very good place to start.
Here are a few screen shots for you:-
Main Window
Startup Repair Running (Note that this is the main go-to option that you should try first. You may need to run it 2 or 3 times for it to work, although when I used it it worked on the first attempt)
Using the Command Prompt via Main Window example, type bootsect.exe /fixmbr at the prompt to attempt to repair a corrupted MBR
Restore using a System Image
Using Windows Memory Diagnostic
