My win2k adv server crashed and I get the error message: Windows 2000 could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt :
\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
Please re-install a copy of the above file

I tried to fix this by using boot up disks with repair option. I copied ntoskrnl.exe to \system32\ fron w2k cd using expand but when I reboot, I still get the same error

Can anyone plese tell me why this happens and how can I fix this ?.

Thanks

This happend due to a currption of the boot.ini file. I noticed that the boot up partition has been changed for some reason( without me editing it) so the system boot up could not start up. Then after editing and setting the correct partion to boot up, I managed to get this fixed. This happend several times now. I cannot find any viruses etc. Has anyone experienced a problem like this ? Thanks, Sarlanka

soory about that link, take the space out from in front of the 73 after you paste it into your browser and it will work.
