bootmgr is missing.

Alright, I have a Toshiba Satellite A205-S5812 notebook and it's having some problems. Whenever I turn it on I get a black screen with the words bootmgr is missing. Is there a way to fix this? I have been looking all over and I can't seem to figure it out. I can get to command prompt through the repair cd but it doesn't recognize drive c:... So I looked around and realized I have a drive X: with 31.3 MB free of 33.7 MB. I have Windows Vista so if anybody can help I would love you!

Also, for some reason I can't do startup repair in the system recovery options.

When I did Startup Repair it said it could not repair this computer automatically. So I clicked show problem details and this is what they were.

One last thing...something just popped up that said "A hard disk problem is preventing Windows from staring." The Diagnosis and repair details say that the Root cause found is Bad hard disk....Does this just mean that I need a new hard drive and it will work fine?

 

Yes it sounds like your hard drive has gone bad on you. How old is the laptop ?? Is it still under warranty ??
