Hi,
This is repairable though you may need technical help.
References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.
This is serious error and "may" not be repairable without professional tech support from
a real computer shop (not leeks and peeks at a BestBuy or other BigBox Stores) or your
System maker's Support.
Here are the troubleshooting methods to try to fix the issue : (The fix for corrupt is basically the same
as for the boot manager is missing.)
Try Startup Repair - (If at ANY point you gain some but not full access to Windows come
back and try Startup Repair again.)
