Bootmgr is missing.. error

[Chewy]

Well I built my bosses comp today, everything went smoothly till we decided to cancel the O/s install.. I quickly canceled it, didnt read to much just hit for it to cancel elc.. than upon reading the drive/disc it gave me this error BOOTMGR is missing.. I cleared cmos and still it dont work.. put it just to boot from the dvd drive and I still got this error. (was installing Vista 32bit premium OEM).

You need to boot into a command prompt (using the Recovery Console of either an XP or Vista disc) and do a "fixboot" and "fixmbr". If that doesn't work you need to get a program called "Delpart" and boot up to a command prompt and run it. You delete the partition using it and make a new one settings boot permissions for it. I did the same thing when I installed my Vista...however having 13 years of PC experience under my belt quickly got me out of that jam!
