Hey prisen..

This is probably @ 99% because you erased may be accidentally a related file of C:\Winnt\System32\Ntoskrnl.exe in your local settings in C:\

Do you still have your windows bootable disk ?

Hi, there are several causes that can give you such kind of error messages including:

your hdd or windows might be corrupt
Windows NT installed on a partition bigger then 7.8GB
Missing or corrupt ntoskrnl.exe file.
Missing or corrupt boot.ini file.

Hi. I don't have the exact same problem, but when running a scan with AVG 7.5 (free virus scanner) it lists up some things (in this case, only this)

File Result/Infection Path
NTOSKRNL.EXE Change C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe




What does this exactly mean ;P ?

Btw. I'm running Vista Premium 32 bit

Iam from Portugal, sorry about my mystakes writing ...

After i install SP3 on my Windows XP PROFISSIONAL and after i check that i pc had a virus.

i install NOD32 to fix the virus ....
Find 10 erros to solved ...

After that i install spybot search and distroy them we find 81 entries ... we fiz them all ... after that 2 issues ... restart PC ...

Damn,

"Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:

<Windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe.

Please re-install a copy of the above file."

i read a lot of pages in google, i did a lot of search ... and most of the problems or kind of the problems are solved with a CD of WINDOWS go to repair consulo do this, do that ... and its done.

I try already do that but after i press R appears a blue screen with a msg that said i dont have a HD and i could not go to recovery console ... the only option is F3 and start over again.

I have a 160G HD SAMSUNG SATA

i tryit to make a clean new installation on the same HD and the msg is the same when i want to start to install a new OS, u dont have HD ...

I already o to BIOS and i check that i have HD.

How can i put into this HD a clean copy of the ntoskrnl.exe ? ?

Using a BOOT CD with PMAGIC? or used another program to see what happend do my HD ? ?
or because of the missing ntoskrnl.exe my machine is assuming that i dont have HD.

i try already to put another HD in IDE and after install XP coud be able to see the other HD ... but i could only see the IDE HD...

Is is possible anyone helpme? i have a lot of information on that HD that can be deleted

Thks
Rgds

Hi, hope by now you have fixed this problem but something i have found when windows is not functioning in some systems, is IF your system BIOS has under "powermanagment" or something of the sort, you will find information os "ACPI management(or something similar.)" IF you have the option to disable this, some do some dont, try to disable it. It is basically as i get it an intel powermanagement feature meant to replace APM. for some reason i have found in some systems that when this is enabled my linux has no problems(installing), though anything that i try to boot ie;server 2k3 , XP does not see a drive. says the same error yours does. try to disable this until the windows is fixed, then after you repair the windows, and restart go back to bios and reenable it. hope that helps...

Okay, to the guy that says the recovery console says his hd is missing:

Number one thing is that windows install CDs dont recognize SATA disks without either external drivers or IDE emulation.

You have to put your SATA drivers on a floppy and press f6 during the install cd to read the drivers so that the windows install cd / recovery console will 'see' the drive,
or perhaps depending on your motherboard there is a way to turn on IDE emulation in the BIOS settings if it's available (usually labelled COMPATIBILITY or ACPI).

Now on to my problem.

I do not have emulation or ACPI or a floppy drive, so my SATA disk is unavailable to install windows on to due to the fact that I don't have drivers. My other two IDE drives work, but for some reason i am getting the NTOSKRNL error no matter how many times i try to install windows.

I am going to try downloading an edition of windows slipstreamed with SATA drivers, they are plentiful on demonoid.com.

peace.

Booting from the disk in the CD/DVD drive doesn't work. Remove the hard drive, change the pins to make it a slave. Obtain another hard drive to use as primary. Once booted, detect the second drive and either copy a new NTOS kernel, or follow the MS instructions on using the recovery console. Often bootup location is corrupted as well.
