When I turn on my computuer I recieve this message: 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.

First of all what's going on with my computer? and second how do I install
a copy of this file if I can't even turn on my computer?

Please help!

The 'NTOSKRNL.EXE' file is the kernel of the operating system Windows XP.
The kernel is responsible for loading, executing and communicating with device
drivers. After the kernel is loaded, services and drivers will be started.
