Okay, I am trying to fix a laptop with the %26quot;BootMGR is missing%26quot; problem. Well, I am trying to run the vista recovery disk, I click on repair your computer. I get to the window that says %26quot;system recovery options%26quot; where it tells you to select your operating system. Well, the problem is...there is never any operating systems in the list. If I just click next, i cannot use any of the repair tools, because it says x://source where it should say c://. So anyways, here is my question. If I want to load my driver, because I know there is no problem with my hardware, what is the file name for the windows vista operating system? Or how do I go about finding it manually by browsing through my files? Can I do it this way? PLease help me %26amp; thanks!
-UPDATE-
okay, I changed my directory, and executed the commands: bootrec.exe /Fixboot %26amp; bootrec.exe. /Fixmbr. They were both successful it said. I then, could use the tools on the repair disk. I did the startup repair tool and this is what i came up with:

I ran the Chkdsk command in the command prompt and this is what I came up with:
