xcopy bootmgr c:\ access denied

vinmansbrew · 03-20-2009, 09:03 AM

I am working on a vista only system. I am trying to repair the boot process. I have run bootrec /fixmbr /fixboot /scanos /rebuildbdc

I am now trying to run xcopy bootmgr c:\ to replace the bootmgr on the hdd from the dvd. I get an access denied error. I booted using the disk.

Any thoughts?

Are you running XCOPY at an elevated admin level?

STYART | cmd.exe | RIGHT-click on cmd.exe | select Run as admin

The directory on the cmd/DOS screen should come up as \windows\system32. If it shows as c:\users\YOUR-USER-NAME, it is not elevated.

Hi, the "X" you know stands for the drive your media is in usually "D".
