My son was on my computer-it stopped working- we tried restarting it- this message came up- windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt-<windowsroot>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe.
Please reinstall. Ok- so i try running the windows xp cd- it won't boot- i go into the bios and change the start up to boot off cd. ok everything going well- it's loading. I should have gotten a screen to repair xp but instead it goes right into which partition to put it in. I chose the second with an operating system already on because I thought I could then repair it. Well-it all loaded but now i cannot get an internet connection. tried reinstalling all cds- router, modem ,etc. but nothing will install. I am thinking i need to find their drivers but i am about fried thinking about this!! Am i on the right track or is there an easier way? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks
