missing or corrupt file

[Guest]

sometimes when i restart my comp i get a message saying "windows cannot start because a file is missing or corrupt" then it shows <windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe. ill then press the power button and the comp. will restart and load windows fine. i have even loaded that file from a floppy disk but it didnt help. i only get this message when restart windows xp when i do updates to xp or when making changes to configurations like the startup or games. any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks

is it possible to recover from the hard drive files that have been deleted?

You would most likely need a third party application if they have been removed
from the recycle bin. try a google search, I don't have any links for third
party undelete programs.

Hi mj,

Yes, you can, but you need to use a third-party utillity and hurry
before the files are overwritten:
