Re: Boot.ini



Most custom boot screens are obtained by modifying ntoskrnl.exe.

This can sometimes cause problems.

ntoskrnl.exe is NT Kernel & System. Very important for Windows.

Ask your son if he saved a backup copy of ntoskrnl.exe before he screwed it
up, I mean modified it.

If not, you may have to expand NTOSKRNL.EX_ from your XP CD to
%windir%\System32

ntoskrnl.exe exists on the XP CD as a compressed file...
CD drive letter:\I386\NTOSKRNL.EX_

Hope this helps. Let us know.
