Re: W2K Failure to Boot

 

If I run chkdsk will that repair the missing ntoskrnl.exe? I have a computer

right now started with the boot disk, can't I just copy this file from the CD

to the winnt\system32?

Re: W2K Failure to Boot

 

This thread is getting a bit disjointed - I don't really know who

started it and what the original problem was. However, running

chkdsk is unlikely to resolve a "missing ntoskrnl.exe" issue.

 

I suggest you start a new thread and describe your problem and

also the recent history of the machine.
