I'm a Windows user and I have no experience with Linux and Ubuntu.

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my netbook (Asus 1215B) and everything works fine. Yesterday I ran the "update application" and updated over 120 "things" (I have no idea what exactly). After that I was asked to reboot, and I did.

Ubuntu starts again and at the load screen with these 5 dots that normally begin to change color, it freezes. After 20 minutes I took out the battery to try another reboot (yes, not the the best idea), and now nothing happens.

I boot from the HDD and I get an Error

BOOTMGR is missing.

I have important data on the hard drive. Is there an option to get this fixed? Or if not, to at least get the data from the hard drive?
