MY WINDOWS XP WONT BOOT SO I AM TRYING TO REPLACE THE
KERNEL32.DLL AS A SUGGESTED FIX... THE FIX SUGGEST TO USE
THE XP INSTALL DISK ,WHICH I DO NOT HAVE
Thank you for providing the additional detail.
Is your hard drive NTFS or FAT32?
It will be difficult to install a new copy of the file onto the hard
drive if it is NTFS. Did your FIX suggest how to copy the
replacement file to an NTFS drive?
If the drive is FAT32 then just boot the computer with a Windows 98
Startup Disk (get one from
www.bootdisk.com) and when it has finished
booting up enter the following command:
DIR C:\KERNEL32.DLL /S /P
That will locate the file and tell you were it is. You can then copy
the file from that location to c:\windows\system32
Good luck
