Guest JBlonde99 Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I got this same msg tonight on our laptop. When I stared the laptop a dell screen came up like it was going to start then it went black and after a while this msg came up: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows Root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe Please re-install a copy of this file. Once this msg comes up I can't do anything else. I need better instructions on how to sign into the Recovery Console and copy this. I've never done this before.

Guest jtthomas38 Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 I wish I had read your instructions about 3 hours ago. I have had blue screens for 3 days, sometimes could recover by going into Safe Mode and going to a restore point. Late this afternoon, restore points were reduced to a single restore point which was from... this afternoon, and it was not restoring. Now I have the same message as listed here "can't restart windows because <windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe is corrupted!!!" I cannot go to Safe Mode, because I get the same message when using F8 and trying for Safe Mode.. And no matter what choice I use after F8, I get the same "Windows could not start......\system32\ntoskrnl.exe. re-install a copy of the above file" I do not have my Windows XP Installation disk at this location. It is in a different country, where I will not go for another 2 months. Any suggestions? I would appreciate any help you might have! Sincerely James "David H.

Guest FromTheRafters Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 There is maybe another option, but it depends on what you use the computer for and what resources are available through the internet. Your computer may have a way to restore the unit back to factory state. If this is an option for you (considering all the data and programs added since it left the factory may be lost by using this method) you might have to call the manufacturer to find out how to access this feature. I only mention this because in some cases a business laptop may have all data stored redundantly on the harddrive and as offline files (perhaps on a server) where you can be back in business when you get back to the company's network.

Guest David H. Lipman Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 From: "Ed" <Ed@discussions.microsoft.com> | How do you boot into the Recovery mode? The Recovery Console can be installed on the PC. <path>\i386\winnt32 /cmdcons Examples: c:\i386\winnt32 /cmdcons or c:\windows\i386\winnt32 /cmdcons Or you can boot off the Windows XP distribution CDROM and choose repair (not a repair installaion). -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp Quote
