Where is ntoskrnl.exe kept in Win 2000?
what i would do is
get a clean copy of ntoskrnl.exe from another pc or from the install disc - put it on a floppy or install cd etc
in xp it is kept in C:/windows/system32
(on the xp install disc it is located in servicepackfiles\i386
so then
1. Boot to Recovery Console.(dos mode)
2 . type the following commands
cd system32 [enter]
ren ntoskrnl.exe ntoskrnl.old
3.
cd.. [enter]
cd servicepackfiles\i386 [enter]
copy NTOSKRNL.exe c:\windows\system32
if not there, expand from the cd
4. Type EXIT and hit enter
------------------------
if it fits on a floppy then it is
3. a:/ (enter)
copy NTOSKRNL.exe c:\windows\system32
if simply on a cdrom (alone)
3.cd.. [enter]
copy NTOSKRNL.exe c:\windows\system32
You must first find the exact path to where mtoskrnl.exe is kept in Win2000 - and change the path so it fits accordingly
goodluck
edit: oooops just read you cant get into recovery console - arent there any boot/startup discs to get there - its been along time for me since 2000 cant remember

YOu SERIOUSLY think I didn't try that?
Trust Me
I want to reformat, too, so don't act like I'm some thrd gradeer
ok, fine, you didn't tell us that before.
And you don't need a dos pprompt to format, the windows 2000 installation has a format option built in.
If you really want to use a dos promt you need to get hoold of a dos boot disc (windows 98/me startup disc).
perhap this article will helpQuote:
