I Get A Bootmgr Error Will Virus Removal Help?

If you ever start your computer and get an error something like cannot load bootmgr error when starting a computer, It is a possibility that it was caused from a computer virus and you may need virus removal, or it was caused by something else. You can try booting from the recovery CD but if you get the same error, you need to dig deeper. There could be many reasons for this error. We will look at one possible solution that may help you to fix the error. This computer would not boot from anything except the Vista Operating system CD. This is probably the worst case scenario.

This was a Dell Inspiron laptop. This can happen if you format the C partition of you computer or if the files are damaged somehow. This was the case today when a customer brought in the dell laptop, he had tried to reload the OS. His “C” drive was wiped out

I had no clue from the customer what had happened with the laptop and I was not able to boot in any mode, (safemode or normal) the only thing on the screen was the bootmgr error message. I figured I would try my Bart PE disk (bootable CD with its own operating system) Well I was able to boot from the Bart PE boot disk and examine the hard disk drive. I could noticed that recovery partition was still intact.

Within the recovery partition was a number of folders. Inside the Tools folder was a exe file named PCRestore. Imagex.exe was in another location on in the recovery partition there was also another folder or sub folder that contained an image file named factory.wim Once all this was located I wrote down the path to the Imagex.exe program and the location of the image file.

I closed the file viewing program that I was running in the Bart PE OS and opened a command prompt window.
I changed to the folder location that contained the Imagex.exe file and typed out the command, for Imagex.exe

to apply the image to the C partition of the hard drive, about 15 minutes later the computer was restored to factory condition. The command was somthing like this, imagex /apply d:dell/Image/Factory.wim 1 c: d:dell/Image/ is be the path to the image file Factory.wim is the name of the image file 1 means the first image
c: is the location to apply the image, being the boot partition for the laptop

That was all I needed to do, in this case. I hope that may help others solve this sort of problem
