System32\ntoskrnl.exe

[Guest]

after windows carried out an automaterd updated last night it will not start
this morning. When I try to boot up I get the same instruction "reinstall
windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe. I have tried starting in safe mode but
no matter which of the options I try I still get the same message as above.

Two parts to my question
1. How do you get a copy of the missing file
2. How do you install it if the computer will not boot up?

Any help would be usefull

What do you do if you do not have a copy of Windows XP but just the reinstall
disks supplied with the computer?

Borrow a friend's copy or look to see if the re-install disks support the
repair installation.
