WinXP home help please...
    #7847747 -

I'm hoping someone here knows how I can get around this.
I was surfing the other morning (as I always do) and turned my pc off as usual. I talked to my gf at break and she said I only had 1 or 2 icons on my desktop, I said I would check it out when I got home. That was yesterday, when I got home and powered my pc on it went to a black screen and displayed the message that <Windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe is missing or corrupted, please reinstall file.
Well, I went round and round for a couple of hours trying to get into my hard drive to try to fix it w/o luck. Then I booted to the cd drive with the disk in and tried to use the recovery console (is asking me for the admin. password :confused: as no passwords are set) and finally did a total reinstall.
I got to the desktop and immediately installed the systemdrivers, preparing to use "Get Back NTFS". Within 5 mins. I got a message that explorer encountered a prob and needed to close, and so it crashed again.
I reinstalled again and immediately installed avast and scanned, clean.
I got everything set up, was surfing this morning with no problems and ran Get Back for about 4 hrs. didn't even get my pics and stuff back :rolleyes:
So now I get the explorer error message again, my system crashes, and now I'm back to where I was when I got home from work yesterday>ntoskrnl.exe missing or corrupt.
I know windows sux, but it's what I got :shrug:
Does anybody recognize this sort of problem?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

Dude, thank you! I haven't googled or anything yet b/c I cannot gain access, I am on a friend's system right now.
The link you provided is a great help! While checking my system event log I did see a keyboard error for yesterday (even though the keyboard is working properly and is being detected). I think this is gonna be the problem.
I also see how to use the recovery console to write in the file, but I'm still confused on the admin password thing, there is no password :confused:
I'll go try it now.
Thanks a lot! :mushroom2:

Sounds like a dying HDD.
I know I've had something very similar happen to me also.

If you have an extra drive, try using that and see if you get the error again.

Yep. I managed to expand the file, on the next boot I got the same message with a different file.
So I took my HD out and put in a different one, installed xp and I'm using it now. M$ says that if you recieve error messages repeatedly, the HD is dying.
O well, I'm due for some new equipment anyway.
Thank you for your help :thumbup:
