My System Specs

Default need help with i7/x58 start up
Ok, this is weird! (to me at least). Got everything running nicely, OS, drivers, Everest etc. loaded no problem, time to start OC'ing....or so I thought! First attempt was mild and as it was "verifying DMI pool data" (update success) it came up BOOTMGR is missing!!....what the hell just happened?? ....and how do I get bootmgr back?...I think I've done it before but I'll be damned if I remember how.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks

Yeah, it was weird. I was OCing too, and that happened. It happened before though, so I knew what to do.

Same thing happened to me with my i7/x58 build. Took me a while to find that fix. I had to use the command prompt approach.
