Boot off CD, choose Enter to install at the first screen it asks. Not R for Recovery Console.

The second screen gives you Enter to Install and R for Repair.

It shouldn't ask for anything then except the COA and such.

635172 2008-01-29 22:02:00 Did you try booting and pressing F8 - select "Last known Good Configuration"

Or if that doesnt work try this -----

Run System Restore in Command Prompt

1 . Boot into Safe mode with Command Prompt – Keep Pressing F8 at start-up then with the arrow keys select Safe mode with Command prompt .
2 . At the command prompt, type C:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui . exe
Press Enter .

Follow the instructions given to perform the System Restore process .

OR from a site I googled --


If the ntoskrnl . exe file is corrupt or missing this can also generate the error . To restore this file follow the below steps .

1 . Insert the Microsoft Windows XP CD . Note: If you have a recovery CD or a restore CD and not a Microsoft Windows XP CD it is likely the below steps will not resolve your issue .
2 . Reboot the computer, as the computer is starting you should see a message to press any key to boot from the CD . When you see this message press any key .
3 . In the Microsoft Windows XP setup menu press the R key to enter the recovery console .
4 . Select the operating system you wish to fix, and then enter the administrator password .
5 . Type expand d:\i386\ntoskrnl . ex_ c:\windows\system32
6 . You will then be prompted if you wish to overwrite the file type Y and press enter to overwrite the file .
7 . Type exit to reboot the computer .

hey, nope it doesn't have the R option after when i pressed the enter button to install. However it has a R button for Repair for commands which i don't have a clue to use it. Any different ideas?

I tried that, didn't work it won't let me go into the command prompt as it doesn't allow to me to do anything unless if i use the options from the Cd above and plus i also tried type the command when i insert the cd inside and choose repair . As i type the commands, nothing happens .
