I enjoyed using Ubuntu for the past few weeks and decided to uninstall Uindows using the "OS-Uninstaller Graphical Tool". Now I get the error bootmgr is missing. When I try to use the DVD from the Boot Menu, it shows

kernel panic - not syncing : VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(2,0)

I'm new to Linux and any help is greatly appreciated.

Sounds like something went awry with your uninstall! ;)

My guess is that when you uninstalled Windows, it took part of Grub (Ubuntu's default Bootloader) with it. I've ran into similar issues, though I'm not sure it's exactly the same.

To fix my issues when I lost my bootloader, I started up a LiveCD/USB and then chrooted into my HDD installation of Ubuntu. From there, I ran update-grub and from that point on, it worked fine again.

It's also possible that when you uninstalled Windows, some configurations with grub needed changed, ie the sector that it boots from ( hd(0,1) etc ).
