Pete, Thanks for the help. I did hit enter for the blank password, but it just gave me the continued c prompt, unless I was supposed to do something there. Also, I do have XP on both drives, for specifically this purpose. It gives me a backup computer when one drive is having problems. I just keep my son's games on the larger drive.
Anyway, I think I resolved it on my own. Apparently, when I deleted the exe then copied and pasted it, I wasn't supposed to hit restart, but shutdown, as when I started my computer this morning, it works fine. If you can explain what I did, I may understand it better for future reference.
Barry Delighted to hear that you fixed the problem! There are subtle differences between a 'warm' boot - restart and a 'cold' boot - shutdown and reboot. If in doubt - cold boot. This is the 2nd time the ntoskrnl. Now that I know how to fix it, I have that HD up and running again, but is there anything I should be checking to determine what might be causing the problem?
I would check out the HD On reboot the HD will be checked and any bad areas 'repaired'. Pete, Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't find any bad areas. Anything else I should check? HTH Johanna. Johanna ,. So my question is that.. I have the same problem ntoskrnl. Last night I was gaming as always I close out my game and decide to defrag. I open up dfrag on drive C I have 2 drives C has one partition and all my games, drive 2 has 4 partitions 40 gigs big each It could not initialize my defrag So I try recovery but no dice I tried installing win2k on my slave drive's H partition I did JrzyCrim's method I do not HAVE a sp1.
I do have an sp4. What I had planned to do if this does not work is to take out slave drive, convert it to master, and install win2k on one of the partitions I dunno if it will allow me to use the last partition in series, since I have info on the first 3.
IF this does indeed work then I plan on moving all my games to that drive. THank God I have 2 computers Anyone else with ideas, can also email me send me PM too. I also sent a PM to JrzyCrim I swapped out the slave and master drives too Now the new issue is it goes to win2k splash screen, then the blue screen where you sign in, then boom There is a folder in system32 called dllcache which contains backups of many critical system files.
The chances that the original file and the copy in dllcache are both corrupted are very slim. Of course, if you have problems with lots of files, you should always run a Virus scan My computer has the same problem as the one described in previous posts. I dropped my laptop and now it won't boot up. It will show me the Thinkpad startup screen, then go blank for about 30 seconds and the hard drive makes a rhythmic loading sound.
Then it shows me that message about ntoskrnl. JrzyCrim, you have posted a suggestion and it has seemed to work for at least one person. However, I am extremely computer-illiterate when it comes to hardware, OS, or registry problems. I have described my problem casually to an IT person and they said it may be that my hard drive has failed. But before I try to buy a new harddrive, I would like to try your suggestion. The problem is, though, that I have no idea how to access the dllcache in System Could you tell me how to do this considering my computer won't even boot?
I have just received this "error message" upon switching on this morning although after rebooting and entering "F5" I was allowed to boot to windows using the "last known working configuration" option. Anyway, I found this guide for using the recovery console to repair the corrupt file s and was wondering if anyone has tried this method. I have received the dreaded message that the following file was missing or corrupt: ntoskrnl. The first two times this appeared was after rebooting when I intalled the motherboard drivers.
Running the XP CD to repair the installation fixed the problem. Yesterday I went in to install the IIs web server and on reboot was presented with the message again. Nothing I have done since has enabled me to get Win XP repaired or installed. First step, however, was to rescue my data. I had to download and install an rpm file to update the Linux kernel so it would read the NTFS partition.
So I tried initially all the repair options suggested in this thread. To no avail. I have also deleted all partitions on the drive and let the Win XP CD go through partitioning and long format, and still get the same problem. Any recommendations? At the moment the best I can come up with is returning this drive for Linux use and finding another drive for Win XP, but its not the optimum option. I have read all the posts about the above topic,but I still can not get my p.
This is what happed to me. I was working on the p. I turn on the p. Any help at all would be fantastic. Well i have problem with the same "ntoskrnl. No idea what to do for it Doesn't seem to be the case, using the same keyboard right now and tried 3 keyboards Well since then normal boots sometimes work and if not I just restart and boot again via F5 and again I get no problems?
I tried to solve the ntoskrnl problem this way. I put my windows cd in my computer and booted it from there. I ran the recovery console and expanded the ntoskrnl. It all worked nice but when I exited the console the computer restarted as expected but now it keeps on restarting. It goes all the way to the white screen where the image of windows is and the blue bar loads itself. But when it reaches the end it reboots again and it keeps on doing it. Please help. Try booting to safe mode.
Check the system log for any errors that occurred after the boot. They may provide a clue to what's happening. I fixed by running a a repair from the cd.
It lost me some application configurations and drivers but files remained so it is ok. I just reinstalled windows yesterday because of this file and two others being 'corrupt' [hal. This morning it came up with the error mentioned a lot on this page that the ntoskrnl.
What can cause this[ I ran constant virus and ad ware [Symantec, Ad-Aware Pro] scans before, and they were installed before I started doing anything else when I put Windows on. Ok, just registered to tell my tale I had the issue of ntoskrnl. This was after I had just upgraded my bios. I though for sure something had gone amuck as it always makes me nervous. What it actually ended up being though is it set a few things back to defaults, such as my boot order and it was attempting to boot from a different HD.
Once I flipped it back everything came up fine. That said, I think some of these issues could definately be power or HD related. I had a similar issue 3 months ago, drive failures on my raided drives.
Not enough to fail, just cause a few issues. In that case, it took a few power ups for it to get by the missing files.
Very strange until I tried the cables. Now it makes sense. I have Windows Professional Is it possible that these two messages are related to each other? And is the only way to solve the problenm by using the Recovery Console on the Windows CD or is there another way? None of these options will allow me to start Windows. When I click on any of them, it goes through the motion of starting Windows, but then takes me back to tihs same screen.
Is there anything else I can try? On another note, I tried expanding ntoskrnl. Any ideas? I have inserted it, had the computer boot from it, then pressed "R". I followed the steps and entered 1. I then typed in copy ntdetect. Then did as you suggested, but it didn't give me the option to start from a partition.
I know the CD is a valid product because it installed on my home computer a year ago. Should I try that instead, even though it says it will re-write everything? That means I'll lose my data, right? Would it be prudent to take it into the professionals, or do you think they will be unable to save my files? Lots of questions! I'm in a conundrum now! My Problem: My laptop is not allowing me to get back to my desktop.
Please re-install a copy of the above file. Went to Safe Mode but couldnt do anything yet. How can I fix it or just can delete the complete root and Install XP again?
Did you follow JrzyCrim's instructions? Its not the Safe mode that he is talking about there but the "Recovery Console". I see that his link has died in the meantime and takes you to the homepage of another website now so here is a link to the relevant Microsoft help:. The relevant part for you is under "How to use the Recovery Console" where it details how to boot into the recovery console using your CD.
When your computer boots up press "Del" or if that doesn't work look at the black screen where it counts up your RAM to see what key to press" to enter the BIOS. It gives no options. Only to press F3 to quit. Hmm in your case moniand1 follow the instructions I gave above to boot into the BIOS but in your case rather than checking the boot order. After that, your best shot might actually be to use a LiveCD of some variety.
It sounds possible that your partition table is shot in which case booting from a LiveCD might enable you to rebuild it. The program Partition Table Doctor was mentioned earlier in this forum by somebody and might be of help.
Or finally, if the data on the drive is not an issue at all. Is this a namebrand laptop like HP or Compaq? They quite often have a "recovery partition" that allows you to restore the computer to what it was when it came out of the factory, a call to their technical support would reveal what the key to press is. Though you will lose anything you have put on the hard drive since.
Another method if it's not a namebrand is to use killdisk. More full instructions are here:. Ahh classic problem. Is the "recovery Console" part of the Automated System Recovery? Please re-install a copy of above file. The Recovery Console provides system repair and recovery functionality. Can someone tell my what I need to write next? I have 10 mb very important files on my computer and I do not wnat to format because I will lose them I know how to format it easy.
I am running Windows Advanced Server, and our system took a power hit which I believe led to the hard drives getting corrupted krnl file. I've tried to place my windows cd and repair it manually, however when I attempt to access the hard disk drives it gives me an error stating "Cannot detect any hard disk drive ect ect" I'm basically stuck at this point.
I do not know how to load my ntoskrnl. Any help is grately appreciated. I currently have over 85 people with no email who are hating me right now.
Yes, I do have backups, but not a full system backup. Would you possibly know why Im unable to restore from a Win CD? Probably because you need the SCSI drivers in order to install. This enables Windows to properly install onto an Array. It's actually happened twice in one day - I fixed it once or thought I did , and it happened later on the same night tonight. Start with your RAM and do a chkdsk. If those both pass then might be a good idea to check the power supply and the motherboard.
Have you tried a different keyboard by the way? I hate to say it but you are not in a good situation. I don't suppose you happened to Install the Recovery Console to your hard drive? All the steps mentioned above use Recovery Console because ntoskrnl.
After downloading and burning that image file restart. Unfortunately I haven't used it myself but imagine it is just the windows xp recovery console without the rest of the windows setup. If it fails because it says the destination is read only you will need to use this command and then try the expanding again:.
I've encountered this problem also and tried the recovery console, but every command came back as. Also that there was no option to Select the operating system , as it states in many procedure of rebuilding the Windows boot?
Ouch notebook. That puts my first suggestion out the window. Both should have utilities to check the integrity of your hard drive because I'm not real hopeful at the moment that you hard drive isn't on the way out. If you have an external hard drive as well.. Hook it up and try using the LiveCD to backup any data possible as well. And for a massive list of Live CD's..
Here's what happened to me and what I did to fix it. Windows Dell Optiplex GX First, Why did I get this problem. I set up in the new pod and plugged my computer in and halfway through the boot process the power on the surge protected outlet went out. So power interruption was my culprit. I got the dreaded ntoskrnl. A few interesting things happened. The reason being looking back now was that my WINNT folder was toast, along with the system32 folder and everything in it.
Good I thought, I am back to normal, I rebooted and Whamo! I tried every post on this discussion well at least up until page 9! There were four subdirectories within the "Found. I was lucky enough to have another machine that I could stick my hard drive in and compare files to determine which folder was which. After renaming them and copying them back to the root of C: I was able to successfully start my computer. With time and patience I have fixed them.
I had to find out what each "Found" folder was named originally and rename it and put it back in it's right place. So if you run the Recovery Console and it finds and fixes the errors and you still have this problem, run Recovery Console again and run the DIR command and look for Directories named "Found. This may help you find what's missing and what has to be renamed. Also I am going to follow my advice and make an image Ghost of my machine's hard drive.
That has fixed my problem, a problem that I had previously been unable to solve on other computers. This was not the first time I have battled the "ntoskrnl. But this is the first time I have beaten it. Moderator, could you put a post near the first few pages encouraging people to keep reading all the posts on this topic because there are solutions for some people. There seems to be different solutions for the same problems for different people.
Is it because of different ways a person might get the error or because of the system running or what is the variable? There are a lot of people having this problem It is possible that the problem is worse when using RAID configuration. Not that this would always work but it's worth a shot. Hi have the ntoskrnl. Try reseating your RAM Memory card. Shut off pc, remove memoery card, clean card contacts and slot, then reinsert it, not sure of results, just see if it works or helps.
Hi Guys, I have recently experienced the ntoskrnl. I tried both of the methods suggested by JrzyCrim but get either: 'The file could not be copied' or 'Unable to create file ntoskrnl. Any suggestions as to how solve my problem would be massively apreciated. Everything was running excellent, until yesterday Sunday when, for no apparent reason I got a 'system shut down message' and it went off before I got a chance to read it.
EXE missing or corrupt message, and it said to insert disc to repair. While I went to get my disc, the laptop made a few short beeps, went off, and it wont switch on at all now!! Is it dead forever or is there something I can try without the expense of repair shop? Any help would be great, as Im at my wits end with it now. Thanks guys, Donna. Hi guys, just to let you know, I decided to use a bit of logic and stop being a panicking woman :O lol I have tried the recovery console so many times my head is buzzing!
I keep getting access denied when I try to expand ntoskrnl. On a second look through posts, I found a link that had been suggested BUT, the wording at the top of the link page says 'repair', but the instructions are for re-install? I have this problem as well, however I am not able to even get a command prompt.
Please reinstall a copy of the above file" message. I'm not much of an operating system wiz. I haven't seen instructions for accessing the Recovery Console. Missing boot file: I was reading about the missing ntoskrnl. This is the problem: No safe mode accessable or previous well last boot available. All say the same about missing ntosknl.
I tried the R console and could not pass the "enter the administration password" since the xp pro OS was installed by the previous owner I don't have a clue of it. I pulled the HD and plugged it in as -slave in my other comp. Or if it's possible to do through this method.
I wish I could retain those programs and files in that HD. Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. I hate to bump this topic it is so old but I don't have the disk.
All I got was the main piece of the computer. No mouse no keyboard no monitor. Hmmmm, I've just been trying to help you in your other thread Anyway, without the original Windows installation CD, there's not much you can do, I'm afraid.
I do not see any Windows Installation CD. Did I miss out anything that was supposed to come in the original package? Sorry if the problem is not to be repeated today, but my computer has crashed, without wanting to damage a file under windows in system32, and that is not very smart but he was desperate because it did not work well and prove and damaged at all.
I can do? There are some other way? You can repair with the CD without loosing your data I'm trying to install a new clean version of Windows XP. This is the message i'm getting straight after the BIos screen. 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. You will then be prompted if you wish to overwrite the file type Y and press enter to overwrite the file. Somehow I inserted a floppy disk this afternoon and also I shut off the power supply by accident when I was doing some cleaning.
When I restart my computer it didn't boot and gave some error information saying "ntoskrnl. I saw some forum mentioned the keyboard and I found my keyboard seemed "dead". But still the problem persisted. I followed your commands in Recovery Console and solved the ntoskrnl. I was about to give up before I followed your helpful link.
Manage Preferences. Home Forum. Wes19 17 years ago. How do I fix this error that is shown in the boot console? If I do a repair installation of Windows will I lose all of my data and all of my programs? I am running Windows XP Pro.
JrzyCrim 17 years ago. Just follow the instructions at the above link. Your system should start up normally. That's a great source of info on repairing Windows XP! I am gonna make a note of that.
Of course, if you have problems with lots of files, you should always run a virus scan. Yeah, I agree about always running a virus scan. Always a good place to start when troubleshooting. Thank you so very much for this information. For some reason or another, my ntoskrnl.
I did exactly what you said and I'm back online! Thank you so much, you saved me a huge headache. BTW, does anyone know what makes this happen? The operating system can only control the work of the hardware devices through these interfaces. Usually, if the drivers are not installed correctly, the computer can't work well.
And ntoskrnl. Then you can update drivers or reinstall them to solve ntoskrnl. Step 3: Follow the tutorial in situation one to update or reinstall device drivers. Memory is one of the most important parts of a computer. It is a bridge to communicate with the CPU. All programs in the computer run in memory, so the performance of the memory has a huge impact on the computer. And the operation of the memory also determines whether the computer operation is stable.
So, ntoskrnl. You can diagnose memory problem by the following tutorials. If the result indicates that there are some problems with the RAM, you could check RAM in another normal running computer. Besides, if the computer is installed with two memory banks with different size and frequency, ntoskrnl.
You can remove one of them or insert two memory banks with same type to solve this problem. Sometimes, ntoskrnl. Memory frequency indicates the speed of the memory, which represents the highest operating frequency that the memory can reach. However, the memory frequency usually stays at a relatively low value.
And some senior computer users can utilize overclocking to break through the limitation. Overclocking can increase the clock speed of an electronic accessory and make it to work at a speed higher than the factory set speed, thereby improving the performance, but this may cause the stability of the accessory to decrease, hence resulting in ntoskrnl.
