ntoskrnl missing - what shall I actually type?

[orange2310]

My pc says ntoskrnl.exe is missing or corrupted.
When in Recovery console it shows
1/ D:\MiniNT
2/ D:\I386
3/ C:\Windows

I pick choice 3 and get thru the password and rename ntoskrnl.exe to
ntoskrnl old
and I am now at c:\Windows\System32>

next the instructions says:

Copy ntoskrnl.exe to C:\WINDOWS\system32 from C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache

may I know what must I type in? Hope someone will response as I am stuck
here at the moment, Many thanks and regards

For the benefit of others who find themselves in the same
predicament it would be helpful if you posted ***how***
you sorted it out.

I slave this 'troubled' hdd and paste a copy of the 'ntoskrnl.exe' from the
'master' pc. Frankly I would like to do the 'correct' way as posted but
after spending a fair bit of time, I took the easy route. Many thansk for
your help

That was a good way to solve the problem. Here are two
similar ways that can be used for laptops:
- Boot the machine into Recovery Console mode, using your
WinXP CD, and copy the file.
- Boot the machine with a Bart PE boot CD (www.bootdisk.com)
and copy the file.
Unfortunately, in most cases the file ntoskrnl.exe is actually
present all along and the problem lies somewhere else, in
spite of the message.
