Hi,

Does anyone know how to fix this. When I boot up a windows 2000 machine I get this error. "system32\ntoskrnl.exe"

Many Thanks,

snoyld

Hi Snoyld,
Welcome to The PCHF!!

There can be a couple of causes for this error, but it is sometimes fixable.
This is one way to fix it

1. Insert the Microsoft Windows 2000 CD. Note: If you have a recovery CD or a restore CD and not a Microsoft Windows 2000 CD it is likely the below steps will not resolve your issue.
2. Reboot the computer, as the computer is starting you should see a message to press any key to boot from the CD. When you see this message press any key.
3. In the Microsoft Windows 2000 setup menu press the R key to enter the recovery console.
4. Select the operating system you wish to fix, and then enter the administrator password.
5. Type "expand d:\i386\ntoskrnl.ex_ c:\windows\system32" (N.B. Space between .ex and c: and expand and d: )
   
6. You will then be prompted if you wish to overwrite the file type Y and press enter to overwrite the file.
7. Type exit to reboot the computer.

Keep us posted if this works, if not we'll take it from there.

Cheers,

Will try this out.

Thanks for your help
