After playing with my computer, trying to get it to start up, I tried to
start in 'safe mode' by hitting the 'F8' key, but it would not work.
Eventually a screen came up telling me that file ntoskrnl.exe was either
missing or corrupted. I tried to boot up with the Windows XP disc, and that
would not work either. I tried the disk in both of my cd-rom drives and
neither would boot me up. I tried the 6 floppy disks that I had to create
when I first installed XP for fixing problems, but after inserting disk #2,
it tells me that I am missing file ntoskrnl.exe and cannot continue.
Everything that I have tried seems to fail. Is there any way at all I can get
this computer to finally boot or start up so that I can at least re-install
XP or even try to repair it? It gets to the Windows XP screen, right before
the blue User screen and shuts down automatically, rebooting until it gets to
the same screen, shuts down and reboots again. I am despirate!!! Please
help!!!!
