vista recovery problem

hello, after i start up my amilo li 3710 notebook i had a black screen saying unable to load bootmgr so i used my vista recovery disk as was told this would solve my problem. as i clicked on repair, system recovery searched for my os but nothing appeared ? so i cannot chose a os to repair leaving me stuck!.
please use this link as a example How to automatically repair Windows Vista using Startup Repair .....FIGURE 4
as you see here: Microsoft windows vista 8496 c:localdisk

i have no option to chose a os if i was to load drivers what files do i load?
any help would be appreciated!
Thanx

I have no experience with Amilo, however if this prob occurs on a Laptop I would boot to the Bios and run a Hard disk Diag. This will tell you if the hard drive is OK or not! If not is the case usually a #7 will appear in the message.
To boot to the Bios, look at the screen at boot. It will indicate which key(s) to press. Reboot and press the key(s). When the Bios screen appears look for Hard disk diag, or something similiar. Run the diag.
If the drive is Ok then you have lost the Boot file( in the old DOS days of computing it was called the Sys files) and they need to be reinstalled. Normally the Windows Cd will offer this via the repair option. You have indicated this is not happening.
Again in my case I would use a Linux Live cd and use Gpart to pick up the disk and work from there. Good luck!
