Computer starts but will not let me do anything. Keeps saying bootmgr missing and says to press Ctrl+alt+del to restart. Then goes back to same thing. Nothing seems to work.

Try unplugging all your USBs or take out a CD that is in your drive, then turn off the power of the PC/Laptop hold the power button down for a few seconds then plug it back in. If this is a laptop take out your battery of course. It could be trying to boot from a non bootable disc or external hard drive.
