NTOSKRNL.EXE PROBLEM

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

You're going to need to boot from a CD, and do some work at the command
line.
eg a windows cd >>recovery console or a third party cd that allows you to
shift files around.

Do you have a Window CD that you can boot from or recovery console already
installed on the computer?

Also do you have a copy of the full download of the SP2 Service Pack? You
can extract the SP2 version of ntoskrnl.exe from it?

Basically you will need to replace that file ntoskrnl.exe with the original
one
