Re: ntoskrnl.exe problem HELP



If you have had a full updated XP SP2 (with all patches) on this system,
then the ntoskrnl.ex_ (which you expanded to ntoskrnl.exe and placed in
C:\Windows\System32 AND C:\Windows\System32\DllCache folders) may not be the
version the rest of XP is looking for.

If I'm not mistakened ntoskrnl.exe was modified with some updates. You need
to get a current ntosknrl.exe (maybe from another system)

I found other postings on this issue, but since they were from over a year
ago thought if I were to reply to the thread that it might go unanswered.

Windows XP won't start because it says that the ntoskrnl.exe is either
corrupt or missing. I found the knowledge base articles regarding using
the
recovery console and copying ntoskrnl.ex_ from the CD to the
windows\system32
directory.

That got me past that issue (sort of) I tried every variation of startup
options "normal" "Safe Mode" etc... and I can tell I'm getting a STOP
error,
but since I can't successfully get into windows I can't turn off the
"Automatically restart on stop error" in the control panel.

Does anyone know of a way I can accomplish this so I at least know what
stop
error I'm dealing with? Thus far the only thing I can do is get to the
recovery console.

I don't have a history on this particular machine, but most of our
machines
are XP Pro w/ SP2. This machine is a PIII.
