[BOOTMGR is missing]

EDIT : I got this working.

 

Thanks for all your help !!

[BOOTMGR is missing]

Thanks for the update, some very useful advice there.

 

I will set up a VM envirnment (don't have one as yet) and use that for this work.

 

For now I need to work with this particular system (HP Z620 Workstation) to create an image for it.

 

I am very close now (after followign your advice) but now am coming accross the age old mass storage device driver issue.

 

Where in my TS should these be installed ?

 

Thanks

I see ok, I will try that out, thanks so much, I have been struggling with this for too long now !!

[BOOTMGR is missing]

Ok, you mean an 'Operating System Install Package' ?

 

Yes, I have created one and it's data source is pointing at the W7 x64 Ent RTM install files.

 

My TS currently has the capture steps disabled as I want to get the build process working first, then customize the image build steps before moving on to capture.

 

I couldnt figure out how to add a screen shot here so will type the steps in my TS .... (Mostly as created by the TS wizard)

 

Build Reference Machine

Restart in Windows PE

Partition Disk 0

Apply Operating System

Mass Storage Device Drivers (Do I need to do this?)

Apply Windows Settings

Apply Network Settings

Apply Device Drivers

Setup Windows and ConfigMgr

Restart Computer

 

 

Upon restart at the end is where I get the BOOTMGR is missing error....

Thank you for your reply, although I am not sure what you mean by my 'OS Installer'.

 

The source files I am using are the MS W7 x64 RTM files.

 

Is your OS installer valid??

Have you tried new installer files?

[BOOTMGR is missing]

I am trying to build and capture a Windows 7 Ent x64 System (SCCM 2007 R3)

 

I have created the OS image etc and the TS using the SCCM wizard.

 

When my system reboots at the end of the TS I am greeted with the message:

 

BOOTMGR is missing

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart

 

The system I am trying to image needs additional mass storage device drivers that I have added to the boot image and are working (I can hit F8 and see the hard drive in DISKPART).

 

I have also tried adding them to the TS (Apply Driver Package) but still the same error.

 

Please help me troubleshoot this.

 

I have read that using the RTM installation is not recommended but others say it will work?

 

Thanks

Hi there.

 

I have followed you instructions exactly but when my system reboots at the end of the TS I am greeted with the message:

 

BOOTMGR is missing

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart

 

The system I am trying to image needs additional mass storage device drivers that I have added to the boot image.

 

I have also tried adding them to the TS (Apply Driver Package) but still the same error.

 

Please can you help me troubleshoot this.
