Bootmgr Missing Windows 2008 R2 Vmware Tools Versions

BOOTMGR is missing in Windows Server 2008. Ctrl + Alt + Del to reboot I've done some searching and found a bunch of suggestions to boot from the 2008 image (which I've done) and then use bootmgr or fixmbr / bootrec / etc to restore the OS.

Back in 2014, there was a discussion regarding needing an ISO image for Server 2008 R2 to recover a server. Well, it's my turn in the barrel I guess. Our old server tries to boot, and stops with the error message BOOTMGR is missing. Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart. Which just takes me back to that error message. I can get into the BIOS setup, but nothing looks amiss there. Of course, being about a decade old, the original DVD for the OS is long gone, way before I showed up 2 years ago.

Now I need a DVD to boot to so I can get into the command prompt during a repair and fix this problem. Any help would be appreciated.
