    I just purchased an Aspire 5742, spent an inordinate amount of time transferring files over to it, both wirelessly and by thumb drive. Then, next time I walk by my new laptop it says the bootmgr is missing, press ctr alt del.

    I am currently doing a restore on the o/s, since that was the only option I had; I could not do a repair.

    Anyone else had a problem similar to this. Of all the computers and laptops i've owned, I've never had a problem this quickly. :confused:
