So I went to bed last night and I'm pretty sure I left my machine on downloading some torrents. Although I could be mistaken and mite have shut it down.

Anyways, I wake up this morning, turn on the machine and I get this after the post, etc.

"BOOTMGR is missing. Press CTRL-ALT-DELETE to reboot"

I have no idea what happened. Can anyone recommend a fix?

I'm running Win 7 Pro on the first rig in my sig
 
Can't you do a repair with Win7? Boot from the CD, surely you have some type of option to do something..
 
Man that's nuts!

So I check the BIOS to make sure its still booting from the proper HDD.

Which it was, so I exit BIOS without saving, BAM!
It boots right up.

strange stuff
 
I'd recommend backing up your stuff. I've seen this behavior before, and while it could be benign, it's more likely that you are losing a component ( mb, hd ).
