Command Prompt - a powerful Windows built-in feature for disk management is what you can try first to recover missing bootmgr. Make the bootmgr partition active via Command Prompt. Last resort would be to fix MBR with WinRE, then again use my boot USB to get Arch console and install GRUB instead of syslinux (since syslinux won`t install on System Reserved partition where Win7 BCD is) - thing is I would really like to avoid this. If bootmgr is missing after making a wrong partition as active, you can refer to the following ways to bring it back. Question is: is there a way to make syslinux boot Win7 that is installed on /dev/sda2 without reinstall of Win7 (or using Win RE /fixmbr)? After that syslinux installed like a charm and it is working perfectly - except this "small" issue: I can`t boot Win7 anymore since I formated his BCD so there`s nothing to chain (or at least this is what I figured out so far - tell me if I`m wrong?). ![]() So I got "bright" idea to format it (/dev/sda1) with mkfs.ext4. When I tried to install syslinux on "System reserved partition" it issued an error that it can`t install it on current filesystem. ![]() So what exactly happened? I downloaded ISO today (NetImage) and started installing it following this guide. I`m Google-ing for the last 3 hours trying to repair this mess but so far - no luck. First I want to thank all of you who will try to help me with this issue.
