Guest Mario Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 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
Guest news.microsoft.com Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 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.

Guest Mario Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 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.
