you dont need recovery disks any more if you press ALT and F10 on boot up it will re-install windows. The recovery is on a hidden partition on the HD

The partition where the windows recovery isn't usually hidden and you can create recovery disk. The Toshiba has the disk creation as part of the bloatware that is installed as default.

http://www.google.co.uk/search?AMs&q=BOOTMGR+is+Missing+...+Press+Alt+-+CTRL+-+DEL+to+restart

That link will bring up the solutions to the problem, although it defaults to booting from a disk. Just need to get to the installation setup as maverickuk1 said. Should be able to run the repair from there.
