boot manager missing?

[stu8975]

Hi all, basically built a new system yesterday (1st build so a bit of a nOOb to all this), all went well until i started installing Win 7, got to the second stage of install and whole street had a power cut..now when i boot i get the Bootmngr missing error, ive tried changing the boot sequence and still get the same error, even if cd/dvd is chosen as first boot device..if i unplug the hdd and boot again from cd/dvd it starts to load from the cd/dvd..but not while the hdd is plugged in? bios recognizes everything is connected...if i stick the hdd in another system (my old one only has ide connection) and format it and start again, will this solve the bootmngr problem?

Any help appreciated
Cheers
