Buggered up Boot up!
Basically, she was using the PC the other night to play Freecell(!) and whilst she was away powdering her nose a Gremlin made its way inside the tower and crossed a few wires over so that when she returned, refreshed and raing to go(!) she was faced with the message below!
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt
<Windows root>\System32\ntoskrnl.exe
Please re-install a copy of the above file.
I made a few enquiries online and have had several replies - none of which have helped me as yet. So if anyone out there in PC land has any advice I'd welcome it with open arms.
Finally, could I either install another copy of Windows XP Home onto her PC's hard drive without over writing all of her data, or could I install another IDE drive and put a copy of XP on to that then recover her data by accessing her 'old' hard drive through 'My Computer?'
Any help you can offer would be most welcome.
Kindest regards
George.
