Sorry I didn't came back to you before but by some means unknown to me the
password to access the recovery control changed from non to something else. I
am suspecting of the Seagate utility when it repair the possible errors in
the disk, because that was the only thing different that happened to the
machine since last access. If by any instance you suggest me what to do, I
will appreciate it.

chkdsk? IF you ran the mfg's tool, then boot from your XP cd to a recovery
console and run chkdsk /r

Just did what you suggested, it found disk errors and fixed them but the
computer is behaving as before. I didn't think the disk had any problems
since I placed it in a external disk adapter and could see, write and
access
all file from another computer. Also I run the Windows error-checking
utility
and it did not found any problems. I tried your suggestion anyway just in
case.
Thank you very much for your interest.

I have Windows XP Home Editon, service pack 3 which was running without
any
problems. One day on start up it wouldn't start, with the following
actions:
1. gave me the message "Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe is unusable or
missing". I copied this file from another computer and copy it into the
same
directory.
2. It still wouldn't start but the message changed to "Windows\system
32\config\system file is unusable or missing" I copied it from another
xp
sp3
computer but now it gets me to the "Start-Up option" selection page
(text).
XP won't start on any of these options. It shows briefly a blue screen
showing the ftdisk.sys file and the hex address where it stop
execution. I
stop copying files from the other computer because since it haves a
different
configuration it might be causing these possible more problems.
I want to fix my files with my original OS disk but this is a SP1
version
and with time I have updated up to SP3 so it will not load the older
files
over the newer version. What can I do?
Regards
