I hope this is in the correct section. Ok so last night I decided to clean my case up a little bit and re routed the IDE cable and the sata cables, it was late so I said I'd finish it up tommorow, before I went to sleep I hooked it all up and was pleased to find it turns on for a few seconds and turns off then turns on and posts. Then right before the windows screen I get a bootmngr is missing, press cntrl + alt + del message. So I figured that my hard drives weren't connected well so I snooped around and reconnected then and still have the error. I googled the issue and all the problems seem to be around viruses and something like that. My computer was running fine before I decided to mess with the wires.


Specs are in the sig, my cpu is running @ 3.8 as of yesterday earlier in the day before I decided to mess with the wires.
 
find the ass that stole it kick him in the nuts....


on a serious note take out all the cables... then one by one plug them in and see what happens. you couldve broke yoru cable itself by bending it to much. replace all of them if you have spares and see what happens.
 
sounds like your computer is trying to boot to incorrect drive?

make your reconnected all the cables correctly or mess with the boot order in bios.

If you really are trying to boot to the corret drive and it still does that (no idea how that could have happened if all you were doing was moving cables) than you can boot to windows disc and go to repair console. if its windows xp you can type the commands: 'fixmbr' and 'fixboot' . I think vista console has different commands.

I would double check the drive boot order and cables first though
 
The only thing I can think of is that I was pulling on the sata cables a little too hard and trying to get them around the end of a MB standoff so they would stay there. If i'd broken my OS drives connector would I be receiving this msg? I'm at work right now so i'll check for damage when I get home.
