BOOTMGR is missing

[tanya]

I've read other subjects on this and can't find my answer. when i turn on
the lap top it starts out like it is going to start up, then goes to "bootmgr
is missing", of course when i press ctrl+alt+del, it doesn't restart. Vista
came on this computer, i didn't install it myself to update the computer. as
far as i know a program was installed, i restarted the computer and all was
fine, until the next day. What do i do????

read the manual concerning the recovery partition on the system.by means of
an F + something key you can "recover" back to 1st purchased state.This
usually takes awhile as it formats your HD and reinstalls everything that
came with the unit when 1st purchased
