Acer Aspire 7715Z No bootmngr and Bios is not open for changes!!!!

Hi, i'm working on an Acer 7715z laptop( stop laughing)

here is the problem: i tried to install win 7 again and it crashed. So everytime i restarted my laptop i would get to choose from win7 install or win 7.

So i tried to remove it with bcdedit, but i removed the wrong windows and now when it starts you get "missing bootmanager" so normally you could just use a boot disk to restore or install right? but first you need to change the boot priority, now when i go to my bios the only thing i can change is the password. I see that there is a new bios available that fixes this problem, but how do i flash my bios or install windows like this????

 

I formatted the drive 

 

please help me to get my laptop running again

Rodger

why don't you try taking the drive out, format it clean, put it back and see if the comp automatically looks at the boot disk when no OS (or corrupted OS) being found on the drive?

How did you format the drive? By taking it out? Or did you boot up with some installation disk?

What type of boot disk do you have? A restore disk from Acer?

cheers ...

no there is no boot possible it's set to hdd boot as first priority 

i removed it and formatted it on another pc (quick format)

so i can't use a bootdisk, i tried the acer recovery disk and a win7 install dvd

i know it's a puzzle if you can't change your boot priority and missing a boot manager

how bout if i tried to install win7 on this hdd installed in a diffrent pc, just to get the bootmanager

??

You can do that - install Win 7 from another comp and let the system picking up the drivers for it
