BOOTMGR IS MISSING...

i've had my inspiron 1520 for 6 months now and after i had some trouble using my wireless card i decided to restart my laptop, but instead of restarting it just turned off. so i turned it back on and after the initial dell startup logo it gave me a black screen saying BOOTMGR IS MISSING press alt+ctrl+del to restart. i restart it and same message, i'm stuck in a loop. any advice would be great...

If you have the Vista reinstall DVD see the link below.

If you don't have a Vista DVD, tap F8 at start up and you should get a troubleshoot menu.

I got that once after a BIOS update. If I would have known I could have repaired it instead of formating and reinstalling windows at the time I would have saved myself a lot of time and patience.

And look at all the experience you would have missed. I use to have Rollback installed on my system. I had it there so I could try lots of different thing and always be able to restore it to the way it was before the changes.
