Hi Guys,
Another issue about my setup here. I'm trying to format and reinstall Windows XP x64 on my hard drives at home and I'm getting the following error 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 just formatted maybe 2-3 months ago and had NO problems at all using practically the same setup.
I have tried all three of my separate hard drives as well as a different Windows XP disk and I STILL get this error, so I don't think it's that hardware. I've scanned the disks using WD Tools, I've gone into recovery mode and ran FIXMBR and BOOTCFG. No luck. Have ran chkdsk. I've had tons of problems doing basic things on this mobo since I got it and this is just the latest.
My setup is like follows:
EVGA Intel X58 Mobo
Intel ICH10R on AHCI
WD Raptor 1
WD Raptor 2
I HAD XP on Raptor 1 and Windows 7 on Raptor 2 - I would like to do the same now, but anytime I get into XP setup I inevitably get to the ntoskrnl.exe error.
I noticed Windows 7 wrote a BOOT info folder to my XP disk, even though I have formatted multiple times could this have anything to do with it?
