missing windows root file.

[Guest Mario]

I hope someone can help me this time. I have xp professional and no cd to

boot from in this situation. I got a copy of a similar os and anable to

restore thru console, due to an unknown administration password requested in

order to load c:\ windows...

Is there a way to work around it, I really wish to keep my files before re

installing and erasing drive. Any responce will be appreciated. Thx

Re: missing windows root file.

 

I would highly recommend the "Offline NT Password & Registry Editor"

 

Do a google for it, easy to find. It will allow you to boot from cd and

change

the admin password.

Re: missing windows root file.

 

Missing boot file: missing ntoskrnl.exe file This is the problem:

No safe mode is accessable or previous well last boot available. All say the

same about missing ntosknl.exe

I tried the R console and could not pass the "enter the administration

password" since the xp pro OS was installed by the previous owner I don't

have a clue of it.

I pulled the HD and plugged it in as -slave in my other

comp.; I can browse it and see all files, but I have little or no knowlegde

of how to replace or repare the missing file in question. Nor do I know if

it's possible to do through this method.

I wish I could retain those programs and files in that HD.

Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. thank you all.
