Windows XP Pro boot problem

[Guest]

i got a error message that the ntoskrnl.exe file is missing. i am trying to
copy it of of the setup cd using the recovery console. i keep getting an
access is denied message because it is a read only file.
what is the proper way to change the attribute using the command prompt and
do i need to change the i386 directory or just the file?
any help will be greatly appreciated
