Few hours ago I have tried to open my pc but I got error called "BOOTMGR IS MISSING" please restart pc, after little research I thought that I should create bootable Ubuntu USB and access my ubuntu files and backup some of them. (I dont have a Windows 7 cd so I can't repair the system).

I plugged in the USB and wait for Ubuntu panel 2 options were there -> "Try Ubuntu" and "Install Ubuntu" so I clicked First One and bootable Ubuntu opened (*where I'm writing this problem) but I could not find ubuntu files I can only see my windows 7 files when search.


Where can I get ubuntu files so I can get backup and re-install windows or repair it?

  • Can you open Nautilus, the Folder icon on the left panel on the desktop and describe what you see on the left panel of the program window? You should see one or more some icons that look like hard disks. Try clicking them. – user68186 May 30 '14 at 18:13
  • There are "Places", "Devices" and "Network" in Devices -> "308GB Volume" and "Computer" what should i do ? – user286917 May 30 '14 at 18:15
  • Is this a Windows only laptop? Try clicking on the 308GB volume. That is the drive of the laptop. If the hard drive itself is not broken, you should be able to click through to the folder(s) you want to backup. Copy the flies and folders in another USB drive (not the one you have booted from). – user68186 May 30 '14 at 18:19
  • I can see files but i want to choose ubuntu files specifically do you know the path that ubuntu files located ? – user286917 May 30 '14 at 18:23
  • What do you mean by "Ubuntu Files?" Do you mean the Operating System, the programs that come with it, or the data, like photos and music? – user68186 May 30 '14 at 18:25
  • Data such as files,photos , folders , downloads..... – user286917 May 30 '14 at 18:29
  • Those should be under /home/[userID]/. Look for a folder called home, inside it there should be folder(s) by the name(s) of your user(s). – user68186 May 30 '14 at 18:32

Install GParted and check whether you can get your stuff back.

sudo apt-get install gparted

Do you have Boot-repair installed? With that, you can repair your BOOTMGR.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo set 's/trusty/saucy/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yannubuntu-boot-repair- trusty.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && (boot-repair &)
