BOOTMGR Missing on Windows Vista

[EricB]

So im running Boot and Nuke, but it has an estimated remaining time of 445 hours.

a clue that something wrong with drive.

what kind of hdd is it?

searching for the drivers so i can put it on a thumb drive or floppy.
WD2500BEVS-00UST0(S1) it shows up in bios.

run a diagnostic check

WD Support > Downloads > SATA Hard Drives

should my drivers consist of two .sys files a dll and a .cat?

well the installation is running now, however when i get to around 98% It doesn't write the file wmspdmoe.dll. :[ tells me if i want to retry to continue without, and if i skip it it will do it for every file after that. [wmstream.dll is next]

Hello?

There is something seriously wrong with your hard drive. You need to do a check disk and some diagnostic stuff like Eric said.

Hello?

yeah i tried that. i burn the iso given to me from their site and when i run it on my laptop i just get a "unable to locate the license agreement file, DLGLICE.TXT" Please make sure that the license agreement file is located in the same path as DLGDIAG.Exe..." "Cannot load the file A:/COMMAND.COM Insert the correct disk and Strike any Key"

ill probably just call WD and try to get a new HD. this wasn't even bought a year ago and they have a three year warranty.
