Re: XP boot problem



Did you type in the installation number then press enter to log on? The installation number is shown at the prompt, it should look something like this when the Recovery Console starts:


Type 'exit' to leave the command prompt and reboot the system.

1: C:\WINDOWS

Which Windows installation would you like to logon to (enter to abort)?


At that screen you MUST type in the number 1 (or other as seen on the screen) and press enter. You are not logged in to the installation until you do so and any attempts to enter commands without logging on will result in an Access Denied message.

My computer will not boot giving me a missing ntoskrl.exe file error message. I have tried the repair console, but it will not let me copy the file. I do not get a password prompt when starting the console. What can I do?
I have another hard drive on this computer, can I install XP on this drive, boot up , and then recopy the file? will this cause problems? I also have an ASR disc made from my laptop. Can I use this to boot my computer? both are XP Pro.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
