Do you possibly mean ntoskrnl.exe which is a NT Kernel & System file? Windows XP needs this file to work. If it's missing from windows\system32 you need to restore it. This "should" only take a minute or two as long as there are no other missing/corrupted files or problems. If you need help with this just ask and I'll walk you through it. Hope this helps!
