missing file Win Root\system32\ NTOSKRNL.EXE Saturday, May 24, 2003 at 6:47 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by David Hall (6 messages posted) I am using a Sony Vaio PCV-RX550 with Home XP 1.5GHz 512 MB RAM 80 GB Hard Disk. I recently went to start the computer and the message I received was that "windows could not start file missing 'Windows Root >\system 32\NTOSKRNL.EXE' Re-install copy of file" I use Norton's Antivirus 2003 so I'm hoping it's not a virus. I would be grateful if someone could assist me in how I find a copy of this file and how I would re-install it. All I get is a blank screen now. I can access a dos prompt when using the recovery disks but not sure how to proceed. Also if and when I get this problem solved I would be interested to know what I could use to back up my MS Outlook and photo's on my hard drive. So in future I could just use the recovery disks. Thanks again for your help in this matter.
