As you note, without NTLDR, your system won't boot. This is a system file
(normally hidden from view). Just reload the missing file from your system
backup.

Let me guess: you don't have a backup do you? Suddenly, you appreciate the
advantage of a backup. But no matter, your problem is relatively trivial.

Follow the procedure here:

and once you fixed it - back your PC up.

is a perfectly useable product for home use. (I can't stop this being a
link - it doesn't go anywhere)

It fixed itself when it posted - ignore last parenthesised bit.

There are two types of user (Oh no, not that joke again -Ed.). Those that
*have* used or needed a backup in anger and those that are *going* to need
their backup or wish that they had one. (It wasn't that joke -Ed.)
