You might have seen this message “BOOTMGR is missing. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart” while entering to your Windows boot menu. This generally happens due to BIOS failure, change in boot disk priority, error in MBR or hard disk failure. If it is not the last case then there are chances that you can recover from it without spending any extra money.

In case of multiple hard disks:

If you have recently changed your BIOS settings then roll back to previous settings. It mainly happens because of change in boot disk priority. If your system is little old then it might be the case of  change in master and slave hard disks.Even if this doesn’t work then follow the steps given below.
