Urgent help needed !! BOOTMGR missing

    Hi

    Before i start this thread i would just like to say that im only 13 and i have a pretty advanced computer skills for my age, but please when you explain to me how to fix my problem please be clear.

    Ok yesterday i tried to dual boot mac os x with windows 7 but it went terrible wrong.
    I burned a copy of snow leopard to a dvd+r DL and burned iboot to a cd-r.
    I changed my boot priority to usb cd and it booted up iboot.I then took out the iboot cd and put in my snow leopard cd pressed f5 and it booted up snow leopard.
    The apple sign only stayed there for about 2 seconds then it started to boot up windows which i thought was kind of strange because i had previously tested all of this in a virtual machine.
    So i shut down windows and tried it all again , this time no apple sign came up but it just booted straight into windows but windows didnt boot up i got the blue screen of death :(
    It asked me did i want to launch startup repair so i pressed yes but that failed.
    I rebooted and got the error BOOTMGR missing press cntrl+alt+dlt to restart i restarted but nothing happened.
    So i went and got my windows 7 recovery disc that came with my laptop(samsung rc 520 so2uk) and tried the startup repair on that (3 times)
    but still no luck.
    I tried the command prompt codes like bootrec / fixboot but still no luck.
    I just previously made a partition on my hard drive to install snow leopard on it with a program called easus partition manager.
    (I dont know if this will help but in disk management on win 7 it would only let me make a partition of 470mb but i made the partition with easus 250gb)
    On the recovery cd it said my windows 7 is on disk drive E: so i went to command prompt and did diskpart/list disk/select disk 0/detail disk/select vol 1/active and then my windows 7 changed to the C: so i tried startup repair 3 more times this morning but no luck.
    I dont want to do a clean install of windows 7 but if i have to i will
    By the way my recovery cd is from samsung and the command prompt response is in like chinese , if anybody knows how to fix it

    Please help me i really need you help this laptop cost me €680.
    I will be very very grateful
    Thanks
    Reece
