BOOTMGR image is corrupt. System cannot boot. - [Solved] - Systems
BOOTMGR image is corrupt. System cannot boot.
I built my first computer! Yay!But...this is the error I keep seeing and I cannot solve it. I'm incredibly frustrated and I have no idea how to solve it. I have a functional UEFI BIOS from Asus, as the motherboard is a Maximus VI Hero. I have a CD in a DVD writer attached by USB with a Windows 8.1 CD in it. BIOS recognizes the USB ports, too. There is no OS. This is a fresh, new built computer.What could be the problem? What can I do? This is a really high end computer, and I thought this would be the easy part. I'm anxious and ready to get this thing working, but I have no idea what else I can do.

Do you not have an internal optical drive? Change your boot order to look at the USB drive first.

I don't have an internal optical drive. No matter what
change the boot order to, it still does the same thing. The DVD drive also pops up as two things. Both are the same, though one has "UEFI" before it.

Set whichever one is second for the optical drive as first.

Could a hardware problem with my assembly cause this issue?
Seems unlikely, but possible. However, what's more likely is the USB drive boot not being compatible with whatever boot mode it was set for as the primary.

It's using Windows 8.1, so is that the source of the compatibility issue? Is 8.1 just being difficult?
Not exactly. It's the combination of UEFI, 8.1 (UEFI-aware OS), and a USB optical drive.

So would Windows 7 work without an issue?
So long as you set to legacy-boot only.
