This was originally posted to windowsxp.general but got no responses so I am
going to post here now thinking that I posted to the wrong group. If there
is another group I should post to please let me know.
WINXP SP3
Full message:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<Windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
Please reinstall a copy of the above file
Netbook Toshiba so no DVD drive.
I found the file on another laptop; cc'd it to jump drive.
Then started Netbook in SAFE mode and was able to get to DOS prompt. When I
tried to copy the file from jump drive to above location it said it was
already there so I didn't copy it.
Best Buy wants $129 to reinstall XP or other option is to send it to Toshiba
under warranty repair.
One thought just occurred to me now and that is that maybe the file is just
corrupt and I should have replaced it with the one from the jump drive. So
I renamed the file on C and then copied the file from jump drive but still
getting the same problem.
Is there a solution without having to send to Toshiba?
Thank you!
