ntoskrnl HELP Reboot is out.

[lambert]

Hi. This is Lambert from Rome. I'm sorry for my English
language.

I need your help.

I have a computer with Pentium 4 3,06Mhz with Hyper-
Threading and I didn't know that I couldn't use the
booteditor program for bootscreens (that I've erased
immediately) because it didn't figure. When I saw that
the computer could start and finish in the right way, but
it couldn't do the reboot anymore, I've deleted or
replaced some files and the computer was blocked-up
definitely.

I've reinstalled XP from CdRom only with option "r" =ok
to don't lose my files, then upgrade= ok, patch Q811493
(5.1.2600.1151) =ok, sfc /scannow (sometimes it has red
the cd-rom) =ok,

...so everything's ok, but the restart (reboot) loops.


Support from Microsoft isn't possible: Windows registered
OEM

Support from the company that sold me the computer isn't
possible, cause it there isn't anymore.

I don't know no one that helps me. My friends advise me
to format and reinstalling everything, but I wouldn't do
it.

Now, my files-situation is:

ntoskrnl c:\i386 1998 Kbyte version file:

I really don't know! Can you help me or tell me where I
can ask for some advises? Or the problem is into the
windows-register?

I seen in web the "cumulative 820128 patchs"

Thank's for your patient and for your disponibility. I'm
waiting for your answer.

Hi All

 

[Rich Barry]

Lambert, did the Repair Install work and then you added some winupdates
and after that you have a reboot loop?

 

[lambert]

also.
1)install and use programm
2)reboot loop
3)certainly my wrong action (replace and/or delete files)
4)system down. no start
5)reinstalling xp and updates
6)start system ok,
reboot loop again and always

 

[Rich Barry]

Lambert, take your friends advice and format and reinstall.

Now, my files-situation is:

ntoskrnl c:\i386 1998 Kbyte version file:
5.1.2600.1106 original name:
ntoskrnl !?!? (righ-click and property)

ntoskrnl c:\windows\system32 1852Kbyte version file:
5.1.2600.1151 original name: ntkrnlmp

Set the BIOS to boot CD before Hard Disk. Boot the XP CD and, instead
of Setup, take the immediate R for Repair. (Borrow an XP CD if
necessary) Assume any password requested is blank, and TAB over. Give

Copy c:\i386\ntoskrnl.exe c:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe

to replace the one that is there. This happened to someone else the
other day - the upgraded version 1151 from Q811493 caused this looping,
and going back to 1106 cured it. That patch is only important to
corporate networks concerned about a possible disaffected employee
prompting himself into full control of systems


A query: Is this machine a dual processor one? Or one that uses a
Pentium 4 recent version 'with hyperthreading'? That 'original name
ntkrnlmp indicates that it is, and I would like to know if the problem
has been an incorrect installation of the patch
