If you can get to another machine, try searching the CD
for the ntoskrnl.exe file. If you find it, copy it to a
floppy. Then boot the original machine, holding down the
F5 key after the machine checks memory. You should be
able to get to a command prompt. Insert the floppy in
the A drive and copy the file using the following command:
copy a:\ntoskrnl.exe c:\winnt\system32\
The winnt directory may be named something else, check
first using the command: dir win*. (Type the period)
Then hit enter.
