    Hi
    I have a gateway laptop MT6832b..it keeps giving the BOOTMGR is missing message. I cant get into recovery console F8 key isnt taking me there it just goes back to BOOTMGR message. I have a recovery disk but the ROM wont run, in fact it seems i cant get into the laptop in any way, tried putting disk info onto flash drive, stick light flashes but cant get info in. Any ideas please?

    Press F10 and select boot from a Windows install disk and do this.

    Hi
    When i hit F10 i dont get 'boot from install disk as an option'...i just get CD/ROM (which doesnt lock up) MAIN HARD DRIVE and BOOT TO LAN. Whichever i chose just gives me the error message Bootmgr missing pres crl alt delete to restart.

    Ha, you must have the install disk in the cd drive then select boot from cd. I don't know what "which doesnt lock up" means? I'm sure you found a solution by now.
