boot mgr is missing dell inspiron 1750
so i posted about repairing a failed hard drive (inspiron 1750) myself, i got the reponse on how to restore to factory condition. I already tried that. The problem is, is that I dont get the dell screen, it does not boot at all even when pressing F8. all i get is a black screen that says "boot mgr is missing" I can load a disc of tenor fix genious but have not purchased that cause cant afford it so its no help, and from that i can get the f8 menu however repair your computer is not listed. I know that it should be the first option on list as it is with my inspiron desktop. How can I get to that option or repair the hard drive myself without tht option, if c this can be understood please help

Have you replaced the drive? If not, you need to do that -- if you have, the new drive is blank, so a quick restore is not possible. You will need either a set of recovery media or a Windows disc to install the OS. If you have neither, you will need to contact Dell for those - depending on which you have (recovery or install) the reinstallation procedure is different.
Post which media you have and someone can help you with the installation process.
