I am also out of the country so can't mail my laptop to HP to have it fixed. Is there anyway I can change the active partition back to the C drive, this disabling the recovery partition? I read that it was possible to access disk manager from cmd prompt window, but I don't know how to access it since the F8 key won't work (makes just a bipping noise when pressed)? I don't have a recovery or installation CD as it didn't come with the laptop when I purchased it. Which of course leads back to the same message after te computer reboots. When I rebooted the computer it began showing:

I then right clicked on the computer >manage> disk manager and made the recovery partition active. When I clicked on it it would just restart the computer without anything else happening. I wanted to restore my laptop to its factory settings but the Recovery Manager wouldn't work. I have an HP Pavilion dv6000 and run Windows Visa Home Edition. If not run the 3 Startup Repairs with reboots until it starts. Hence the 'Bootmgr is missing.' I would move the Active flag back to Recovery and see if it starts.
