windowsroot>system32\ntoskrn exe

[Dar_41]

Hello,
receiving error msg.
"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 have tried to reboot, same thing happens. The keyboard won't work, tried it in different USB ports, no luck. Using Windows XP

You need to fix that keyboard first, can you borrow some other one?

Try using another keyboard or an old PS2 keyboard.

Once you've managed to get your keyboard working, try and run the System file checker command in command prompt. It scans for and restores corruptions (Windows system files)
