How Can I Correct A Computer Error That States Windows Root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe Is Missing Or Corrupt?
I have a lot of important files on my computer and I’m wondering if I do a complete system restore or re-install of windows if I will lose all files. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Insert and boot from your WindowsXP CD.
2. At the first R=Repair option, press the R key
3. Press the number that corresponds to the correct location for the installation of Windows you want to repair.
Typically this will be #1 and put in the password if no password press enter.
4. Type expand d:i386ntoskrnl.ex_ c:windowssystem32
* assuming d is your cd rom drive letter if anything else then put that instead of d.
Take out the CD ROM and type exit
If system retore doesn’t work, reinsall the OS. Backup your important files and doccuments before you proceed.
Operating System Kernal is missing or corrupt- this is not good. If you have a repair disk or the operating system disk repair it.
.
Right now, you know the importance that you should always BACK UP your important files and programs to CDs if you don’t have the originals.
You DO NOT need to do a re-install of windows you will lose your personal stuff certainly.
You can correct this problem using the original WindowsXP installation CD
using the following insturctions (lower part of page):http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000…
Another option is that You can try to go back and do a
“Last known Good Configuration”/system restore
and you will only lose the most recent additions on your computer done from the date you pick
which will be a date before you experienced the notification of the corrupt *.exe file.

There are a couple of ways to do this and it does depend on how friendly your System Restore is that’s built into your computer.
Usually if you press F10 at bootup, you’ll be presented with the System Restore provided by the manufacturer…..
There can be a clear message that using this will be Destructive if you continue, which means you LOSE ALL YOUR STUFF, or that it can attempt to REPAIR the Operating System…..That is what you want to try if the option presents itself.
If not, then you need to get ahold of a Windows CD (XP Pro if you have Pro, XP Home if you have Home Edition) and boot up with the CD in the Drive and press F8 to agree to the License, then eventually get to a series of screens that MAY present you with an Option to Repair the Operating System….That’s the choice you’d like to see, but it doesn’t always present itself.
If it says to Open the Repair Console to attempt to repair the OS, then you need additional assistance to figure out how to use the Repair Console…It’s really for experienced Tech’s ONLY.
Good Luck
