BOOTMGR missing after deploying a custom image
I'm stuck. I followed the "Deploying Vista Step by Step Guide". As a server I've used Vista Ultimate. Then I installed a target machine using autounattend file and Vista CD.
Run sysprep (Sysprep.exe /oobe /generalize /shutdown). I created PE, captured an Image from target machine to a network share (z:\Tools\Imagex.exe /compress fast /capture C: z:\\Myimage.wim "my Vista Install" /verify).
Image was created successfully. I booted target machine with PE and created partition with diskpart:
diskpart
select disk 0
clean
create partition primary size=40000
select partition 1
active
format
exit
Next I dropped an image (z:\tools\imagex.exe /apply z:\myimage.wim 1 c:
As this far everything has gone as planned. But when dropping an image there are quite a lot of this kind of text:
[INFO] c:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\LoaclLow\desktop.in [Restore Sec. Descriptor:
I get quit a lot of those but those are only INFO so does it matter? What causes those INFO messages?
After image has dropped completely I boot the target machine resulting BOOTMGR is missing. Press Ctrl + alt + del to restart.
I tried to find answer everywhere but without any success...
Solution :
I ran into the same “BOOTMGR / NLTDR is missing” problem with Windows 7 after applying a WIM image using diskpart and ImageX and I managed to resolve it by running this command after applying the image "bcdboot c:\windows"
