Topic: [SOLVED]Won't boot, file missing

When I try to boot the LiveCD files from my flash drive, I get a screen that says "BOOTMGR is missing, Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart." I used TuxBoot to put the iso on my flash drive, and the iso I'm using is gparted-live-0.8.0-3. 

Ultimately, what I'm trying to do is dual-boot Win7 and Ubuntu 10.10 on my netbook.  Currently, my netbook has Ubuntu Netbook Remix, so I put a Win7 ISO on another flash drive, booted it, and then got stuck when it said that my disk drive wasn't in the right format to install Win7.  The instructions I'm looking at on how to do this whole thing (http://lifehacker.com/#!5403100/dual+bo … ct-harmony) say to use Gparted from the "live" install of Ubuntu, assuming the computer already has Windows on it, and run Gparted from the live Ubuntu.  I tried to run Gparted from the Ubuntu I already have installed on my netbook,  but I couldn't do anything because my hard disk was in use and there is no unallocated space.

Help? Tips? Thanks!  My netbook is an Asus Eee PC, by the way.

Oh and I also tried 0.8.0-1 and it did the same thing.

Re: [SOLVED]Won't boot, file missing

I ended up just running it off the "live" Ubuntu USB stick, so no worries.
