(c) System Reserved/bootmgr

Explanation:

The bootmgr file is a read-only file that contains codes that allow Windows to startup. If it is missing or corrupt, Windows will have issues starting up. The bootmgr is mostly located in the partition labelled as "System Reserved". If the PC does not have this partition, then the bootmgr file is probably in the primary partition (mostly labelled as C).
