Just built a new computer with the following specs.
Asus m4a77td
AMD ADX630WFGIBOX Athlon II X4 2.80 GHz 3600 MHz AM2+/AM3 4 x 512KB Desktop Processor Retail
WESTERN DIGITAL Caviar?SE16 SATA WD6400AAKS SATA 7200 RPM 16MB Buffer Hard Drive Bulk
OCZ OCZ3P18002GK 2GB PC3-14400 (DDR3-1800) DDR3 Memory Retail
PNY GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB DDR3 PCI-E 2.0
Coolermaster 600w power supply
ive been having freezing in windows and random restarts every now and then. vista fails to install properly. something is now screwed up and during boot up it says "bootmgr is missing" im unable to boot from either my dvd rom or dvd burner PATA drives. i was able to once to repair windows so it restarted to fix it but got the bootmgr error again. ive tried different hard drives and drive configurations with no luck. i am very lost at the moment.
also in the bios boot order i only see my HD and dvd drive but not the burner. but when i press f8 during boot up, i am given multiple options and see both PATA drives and SATA hd. not sure if this is affecting my problems.
i would like to get this fixed for my brother before i leave this sunday. thank you!
