    [SOLVED] bootmgr is missing

    I recently decided to do a dual boot computer running windows 7 and fedora 12. After running disc management in windows 7 and shrinking my main volume down so there was enough unallocated room to install fedora I rebooted and ran the fedora live cd. I then chose the option to install fedora on unused hard drive space.

    After all of this I booted up fedora and everything ran great and I have access to all my windows files when I mount that drive. I restarted my computer and tried to boot into windows 7 and ended up with the error "bootmgr is missing press ctrl alt del to restart".

    Is there any way to recover from this and use windows 7 again? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

    Go figure... the one time I give in and ask a forum I figure it out 40 minutes later :P. If anyone else has this problem, reconfigure the grub config file so that it is looking at the right partition to boot from. It was trying to boot windows from the toshiba system restore partition.
