I figured it out.  I just had to go into the BIOS and change the values for the Boot order.  I set the HDD for the first option.
Hello, I recently had this laptop running with Windows 8.1 and had to go into the BIOS to change it from AHCI to Legacy so that I could install Windows 7.  When I boot the laptop after installing Windows 7 it will not boot.  I keep getting the message that BOOTMGR IS MISSING.  I have to go into the Boot Options when booting and select the Hard Drive as my option and Windows boots successfully.  I tried putting the system back into the original configuration but it doesnt boot either.  I dont want to have to push F12 every time the laptop boots so that I can tell it to boot to the Hard Drive.  Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
