My laptop displays the message "boot configuration is missing" with the above error code. Please help me.

First of all try to check if ALT+F10 at boot take you to windows 8.x-10 recovery and you can reach command prompt from there:
troubleshoot-advanced options- command prompt (if this works, go to point 4, if not point 1)
1. create a vanilla Windows 8.1 or 10 installation media from this link:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
2. Once you boot using the Windows installation disc, on the Windows 8.x-10 installation window, click on Repair your computer.
3. Click on Troubleshoot and in the Advanced options. First thing you may try is the Automatic Repair.
4. If that does not help, then select Command Prompt. Enter the following four commands into the prompt.
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd
Once the command completes, restart the computer.

Thank you so much.  Step 4 worked for me.  I thought my hard drive was gone.
