not sure, if we can, since the description - system rebooted out of the nowhere - can also point to a hardware problem. May be the harddisk is broken or got damaged sectors (not to rare on old systems, as your server seems to be). In this case you are lost without a good backup.My busines server is down and I don't know how to fix this problem. I have a windows NT service pack 6a 4.0 back office 3.5 server. It accidentally rebooted and I can't load the OS back up. I get this error <winnt root> /system32\ntoskrnl.exe ' I searched on the knowledge base - but i cant figure it out... I called microsoft but they don't support this OS anymore.
Can someone help?
Could also be, that the partitions changed, because someone added a new harddisk and created partitions, causing the sequence in the boot.ini going wrong - and this was the first rebootafter that action. In this case you could try to create a boot disk for NT with a boot.ini pointing to the proper partition.

Or the Windows NT partition is larger than 7.8 GByte, and the mentioned file has been moved to a sector behind that area.

But all we could tell you (like swapping the disk over into another PC with XP for example and check the status there and copy the missing files back from another NT Server SP6 installation requires some more technical experience. So you may want to try to get a local IT service company involved.
Best greetings from Germany
