Re: ntoskrnl missing - what shall I actually type?

That was a good way to solve the problem. Here are two
similar ways that can be used for laptops:
- Boot the machine into Recovery Console mode, using your
WinXP CD, and copy the file.
- Boot the machine with a Bart PE boot CD (www.bootdisk.com)
and copy the file.
Unfortunately, in most cases the file ntoskrnl.exe is actually
present all along and the problem lies somewhere else, in
spite of the message.

I slave this 'troubled' hdd and paste a copy of the 'ntoskrnl.exe' from the
'master' pc. Frankly I would like to do the 'correct' way as posted but
after spending a fair bit of time, I took the easy route. Many thansk for
your help
