BOOTMGR is missing in Windows Server 2008 R2

Anonymous

I have tried putting the dvd in and then running the recovery console via the command prompt.  I only have the options for "system Image Recovery", "Windows Memory Diagnostic" and Command Prompt.

I ran Bootrec /RebuildBcd, Bootrec /FixMbr and Bootrec /FixBoot

None of it works and I still get the error.  How do I fix this (I have no restore point)?

and How do I get it to automatically create restore points?

    Put in the server 2008 dvd.

    get to the command prompt. (after each of the next lines hit enter)

    cd x:\sources\recovery\ 

    StartRep.exe

    once that is completed it should prompt you to restart.

    everything should boot normal now. at least it did for me.

    good luck
