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.

Missing or corrupt ntoskrnl.exe file.
If the ntoskrnl.exe file is corrupt or missing this can also generate
the error. To restore this file follow the below steps.
Insert the Microsoft Windows XP CD. Note: If you have a recovery CD or a
restore CD and not a Microsoft Windows XP CD it is likely the below
steps will not resolve your issue.
Reboot the computer, as the computer is starting you should see a
message to press any key to boot from the CD. When you see this message
press any key.
In the Microsoft Windows XP setup menu press the R key to enter the
recovery console.
Select the operating system you wish to fix, and then enter the
administrator password.
Type expand d:\i386\ntoskrnl.ex_ c:\windows\system32
You will then be prompted if you wish to overwrite the file type Y and
press enter to overwrite the file.
Type exit to reboot the computer

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?
