I have an Inspiron 1525 laptop. It was running Vista, which I really liked. However, after downloading some updates a while back, I kept getting 'NTLDR is missing'. A few times I was able to fix it but finally was unable to. My husband took it to a young fellow who said he could fix the problem. Instead of actually fixing it, he took the computer down to bare bones, losing all my files, and installed Win 8 Pro with Media Center. My husband has Win 8 and I never wanted it.
However, all that said, I'm learning to use it, even though I hate it. Have found my way around fairly well except for a couple of problems. When booting up, that darned NTLDR still pops up. If I shut it down and then start by using the little home button, it goes away. But then I get the welcome sign, then it goes to Activate Windows and then to PC settings. From there I can get easily to my home page. I do wonder if I could go directly to my homepage, without going through all these others beforehand. Any ideas please? I really don't want to take it back to the same person who supposedly fixed it and can't afford to take it elsewhere.
Thanks
