EXE problem on the internet. EXE ". The error may be caused by a corrupt file system, which would prevent Bootcfg from successfully scanning. I've tried a couple of manual edits of BOOT. INI, trying different partition numbers, etc.
Nothing helped, so I put it back the way it originally was. EXE has completely vanished. It's really frustrating Does anyone else have any experience or advice regarding this? I've spent the whole weekend trying to get my computer resuscitated, and I'm starting to worry that I'll have to reinstall everything and lose important files!
I took the time to read and skim through all 9 pages of the postings on this thread and found that my error is somewhat unique to what everyone else is experiencing. I'm running WIN2K. I'm not sure if it's Pro or not. Does it matter? I know it's not server or workstation. Anyway, I hadn't had the computer online since May, and just recently put it back online and almost immediately got a virus before i could even update my virus files and download windows security updates. It would freeze after i entered my login and password into windows.
I got around it by just changing the password. I tried running the virus scan and it would freeze when scanning this particular directory. I don't remember which it was, but i seem to think it was in the system32 folder somewhere. So i just ran the virus check on every other directory, and it found nothing, but continued ot lock up if i went to a full system scan. So i took my computer back off the internet and now about 2 weeks later of little to no trouble with it, i ran into another problem:.
Out of nowhere, my computer locked up in windows and i rebooted and now get the error everyone here's been talking about:.
I don't have a windows 2K CD readily available, though i can have my brother mail me his so i downloaded off a website the 4 floppy boot disks so that i could at least run setup of windows. But at the final blue screen, when i hit C to enter recovery console, instead of it asking me which windows installation i would like to login to, and then asking for the administrator password, it just takes me to a command prompt directly. So then i tried a repair installation, thinking it wouldn't be a big deal to lose the windows updates, etc.
I don't know if any other aspect of windows is the same, other than they're both 2K. The steps i followed were at this link:. Each try ended with the same result. After i inserted the ERD, and pressed enter, or after i said i did not have an ERD, instead of saying it found windows in the following folder, it said.
When i press enter, it does nothing, and i have to restart the setup, which takes me right back to where i started. Do i need the actual Windows 2K CD to do a repair installation? Because as stated, I'm just using 4 floppy boot disks to get into windows setup. I'm quite lost on what to do. Any help would be appreciated. And thank you in advance for your time and effort. If you do a repair installation of Windows XP? Hi I have been reading this msg board and am having a similar problem.
I had the usual by the sounds of everyones problems problem of a corrupt or missing ntoskrnl file. I cured that by using the recovery console on the XP install disk and expanding the file from the cd to C:. However here is the rub on restarting XP kept rebooting on start up so I went into the repair a windows setup and now I get the following error.
I'm having pretty much the same symptoms as many others who have posted in this topic - the dreaded "ntoskrnl. Here's my situation:. Drive is partitioned strangely, but for all intents and purposes Win2k is on the D: drive, which the "Recovery Console" command MAP reports to be partition 4.
Windows has been working just fine for years, until I decided to mess with it this afternoon and I really seem to have screwed it up badly. What I tried to do: System is desperately low on disk space, especially on D:, the system drive. BIG mistake. What it did: It wanted to reinstall a bunch of files from the "SP4 CD", which doesn't exist and never has.
I had upgraded to SP4 a long time ago, not from a CD, and did not keep the installer due to - you guessed it - low disk space. Now I'm getting the ntoskrnl. INI file does point at the correct drive 'Partition 4 ' , but I've tried modifying it anyway both on the HD and on a FD created as described several posts back with no success.
I'm at my wit's end here because it looks like all the necessary files are in the right places, and it still won't boot. If you've read this far, thanks, and I hope someone can point out something else I can try. I really don't want to lose this installation. If you have the emergency repair disk ERD you created boot from that and try modifying the boot. Here is a sample and example:.
Alright, hmmmm The power did not go out, that was just plain weird. Also, twice I've had this problem. The computer wouldn't start up. I believe this was after the storm. I found out later one of the times was cause a video driver? Even though I hadn't touched my drivers for a while and everything was always fine.
Very hard to describe. After I turned it off, after hearing that, and turned it back on. It did it again. So I tried it again, and it didn't do it. I too face a similar problem but peculiar in its very own nature. I was able to repair the ntoskrnl. But now when it goes to the "Windos is starting" black screen with that white progress bar across the bottom, i get the problem,. It said the file was not found. I looked in my repair folder and saw there were 2 files, for 0 bytes, which i think means it's empty.
So i don't have that file. Is there someplace else i can copy that file over? Also, when i try to do a repair installation, i get that blue screen "to set up windows now, press enter, then i do and agree to the license, then the next screen, it doesn't give me the option to do a repair install.
It goes straight ot my partitions and asks where i want to install the new copy of windows. WHy don't i get the option to repair install? Also, i have 2 paritions on this harddrive. One has windows on it and the other has all my important files. If i install a fresh copy of windows on the partiiton with the old version of windows, will i lose my info on the other partition?
No you will not. Windows will only install to the partition you specify and will leave the others intact. Hi guys, I have exactly the same problem with the ntoskrnl. Alright just built new comp and have gone in to install win xp pro. I get it all installed go to start up and get the ntoskrnl. I boot up windows again and try and do the repair file which has been said before, but on my setup menu it shows my C:partition1 ,.
So then i deleted partition tried reformatting and ntoskernl. I am going to try and do the long reformatting again to see if it works. Didn't the first time, but maybe this time it will. I have no way of getting to the RC Alright i did the long reformatting and it worked, i had it running and all was jolly until after i was updating bios and installing things like anti virus etc.
I go to do the restart and come up with a new problem "C Now it just keeps looping when i try and reboot. I reformatted it twice with quick way and reinstalled windows, then when i try and to boot it up i get the same ntdll.
So for the last time i am going to run long reformat way and try it again. If it screws up I am sending back my three day old maxtor hard drive. Any other suggestions? I don't need to keep any of the info on my C: drive But i'd guess that's where the virus resides. So maybe it'd be better if i formatted just the C: drive and then reinstalled windows? But if i do that, would that mean any programs ie microsoft money, video games, etc that i installed on the D: drive, wouldn't work anymore?
I'd have to reinstall? More than likely yes. The registry entries made when those programs were installed would be erased once you installed Windows. But if that is the route you want to take, I would format vice the re-install, a.
I'm having the same exact problem as the first poster, my ntoskrnl. But the solutions that were given aren't working as easily as they were for him. When I try and cd to the system32 folder I keep getting the following error, "The path or file specified is not valid. Recently I bought a HP dv which seemed to be running as it should for about the first six days.
However after that when I turned it on it would show the initial HP graphic screen when powered up and then go black and start an audio alarm of a constant drone. To solve this I pressed the stop button on the media control other buttons seem to have the same effect too and the alarm would soon stop and the computer would return to it's normal start up process.
It was around the same time that I noticed a strance thing happening with the number 5 key. The key would act as if constantly being pressed for no reason and cause the number 5 to scrawl across the screen when not pushed. It would happen on all applications to start up which required text, msn messenger, word docs etc. By pressing the media player stop button, the problem would seem to go away but often soon return.
My first thoughts were that it must be a bit of a faulty button but I did a bit of a test on it and it still requires the same amount of finger pressure on the keyboard to activate the button. So with the strange audio alarm on the start up and the number 5 thing, I then decided to do a start up and let the audio alarm run for a while to figure itself out.
After a minute or so it would sometimes say notskrnl exe. I am very amature when it comes to this sort of thing but I managed to locate thefile in the window32 I think it was so it wasn't missing, but possibly corrupt.
I then attempted to replace the file which I think seemed to work but only for one start up. Do you think it is a faulty PC problem I had only had it for six days however had used internet while running Norton AntiVirus and anti spyware.
Well, I first of all apologize for resurrecting an old topic but I am sorely in need of help here. My issue however is when I go in to repair it with the recovery console, I immediately get this error:. Make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any disk-related hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or setup program.
This is a brand new computer that was built by a friend only a few days ago. It has run fine and restarted tons of times in the past 2 days while I installed new software.
Is the problem simply that my hard drive is nuked? When I press tab to key into the user window during start up it gives me a notice saying the number of disks is not adequate to create a raid however at the bottom it lists:. Does this mean it still registers it and that it isn't dead or am I just getting my hopes up as I fumble around in various options during start up.
I don't know very much about the side of building computers or fixing problems like these but if given any instructions that might help I should be able to follow them.
I really hope the hard drive isn't dead after only two days of use. I moved the computer before I got this problem and I hope I didn't mes up the hard drive by setting it down too sharply. I set it down a little rough but nothing more than what would be expected from normal travel. I even went in and disconnected and reconnected all the cables onnected to the hard drive but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Well well.. The only thing though The only thing it will do is.. So my question is that.. I have the same problem ntoskrnl. Last night I was gaming as always I close out my game and decide to defrag. I open up dfrag on drive C I have 2 drives C has one partition and all my games, drive 2 has 4 partitions 40 gigs big each It could not initialize my defrag So I try recovery but no dice I tried installing win2k on my slave drive's H partition I did JrzyCrim's method I do not HAVE a sp1.
I do have an sp4. What I had planned to do if this does not work is to take out slave drive, convert it to master, and install win2k on one of the partitions I dunno if it will allow me to use the last partition in series, since I have info on the first 3.
IF this does indeed work then I plan on moving all my games to that drive. THank God I have 2 computers Anyone else with ideas, can also email me send me PM too.
I also sent a PM to JrzyCrim I swapped out the slave and master drives too Now the new issue is it goes to win2k splash screen, then the blue screen where you sign in, then boom There is a folder in system32 called dllcache which contains backups of many critical system files.
The chances that the original file and the copy in dllcache are both corrupted are very slim. Of course, if you have problems with lots of files, you should always run a Virus scan My computer has the same problem as the one described in previous posts. I dropped my laptop and now it won't boot up. It will show me the Thinkpad startup screen, then go blank for about 30 seconds and the hard drive makes a rhythmic loading sound. Then it shows me that message about ntoskrnl.
JrzyCrim, you have posted a suggestion and it has seemed to work for at least one person. However, I am extremely computer-illiterate when it comes to hardware, OS, or registry problems. I have described my problem casually to an IT person and they said it may be that my hard drive has failed.
But before I try to buy a new harddrive, I would like to try your suggestion. The problem is, though, that I have no idea how to access the dllcache in System Could you tell me how to do this considering my computer won't even boot? I have just received this "error message" upon switching on this morning although after rebooting and entering "F5" I was allowed to boot to windows using the "last known working configuration" option.
Anyway, I found this guide for using the recovery console to repair the corrupt file s and was wondering if anyone has tried this method. I have received the dreaded message that the following file was missing or corrupt: ntoskrnl. The first two times this appeared was after rebooting when I intalled the motherboard drivers.
Running the XP CD to repair the installation fixed the problem. Yesterday I went in to install the IIs web server and on reboot was presented with the message again. Nothing I have done since has enabled me to get Win XP repaired or installed. First step, however, was to rescue my data. I had to download and install an rpm file to update the Linux kernel so it would read the NTFS partition. So I tried initially all the repair options suggested in this thread.
To no avail. I have also deleted all partitions on the drive and let the Win XP CD go through partitioning and long format, and still get the same problem. Any recommendations? At the moment the best I can come up with is returning this drive for Linux use and finding another drive for Win XP, but its not the optimum option.
I have read all the posts about the above topic,but I still can not get my p. This is what happed to me. I was working on the p. I turn on the p. Any help at all would be fantastic.
Well i have problem with the same "ntoskrnl. No idea what to do for it Doesn't seem to be the case, using the same keyboard right now and tried 3 keyboards Well since then normal boots sometimes work and if not I just restart and boot again via F5 and again I get no problems? I tried to solve the ntoskrnl problem this way. I put my windows cd in my computer and booted it from there. I ran the recovery console and expanded the ntoskrnl.
It all worked nice but when I exited the console the computer restarted as expected but now it keeps on restarting. It goes all the way to the white screen where the image of windows is and the blue bar loads itself. But when it reaches the end it reboots again and it keeps on doing it. Please help. Try booting to safe mode. Check the system log for any errors that occurred after the boot.
They may provide a clue to what's happening. I fixed by running a a repair from the cd. It lost me some application configurations and drivers but files remained so it is ok. I just reinstalled windows yesterday because of this file and two others being 'corrupt' [hal.
This morning it came up with the error mentioned a lot on this page that the ntoskrnl. What can cause this[ I ran constant virus and ad ware [Symantec, Ad-Aware Pro] scans before, and they were installed before I started doing anything else when I put Windows on. Ok, just registered to tell my tale I had the issue of ntoskrnl. This was after I had just upgraded my bios.
I though for sure something had gone amuck as it always makes me nervous. What it actually ended up being though is it set a few things back to defaults, such as my boot order and it was attempting to boot from a different HD. Once I flipped it back everything came up fine. That said, I think some of these issues could definately be power or HD related. I had a similar issue 3 months ago, drive failures on my raided drives.
Not enough to fail, just cause a few issues. In that case, it took a few power ups for it to get by the missing files. Very strange until I tried the cables. Now it makes sense. I have Windows Professional Is it possible that these two messages are related to each other? And is the only way to solve the problenm by using the Recovery Console on the Windows CD or is there another way? None of these options will allow me to start Windows. When I click on any of them, it goes through the motion of starting Windows, but then takes me back to tihs same screen.
Is there anything else I can try? On another note, I tried expanding ntoskrnl. Any ideas? I have inserted it, had the computer boot from it, then pressed "R". I followed the steps and entered 1. I then typed in copy ntdetect. Then did as you suggested, but it didn't give me the option to start from a partition. I know the CD is a valid product because it installed on my home computer a year ago.
Should I try that instead, even though it says it will re-write everything? That means I'll lose my data, right? Would it be prudent to take it into the professionals, or do you think they will be unable to save my files? Lots of questions! I'm in a conundrum now! My Problem: My laptop is not allowing me to get back to my desktop.
Please re-install a copy of the above file. Went to Safe Mode but couldnt do anything yet. How can I fix it or just can delete the complete root and Install XP again? Did you follow JrzyCrim's instructions? Its not the Safe mode that he is talking about there but the "Recovery Console". I see that his link has died in the meantime and takes you to the homepage of another website now so here is a link to the relevant Microsoft help:.
The relevant part for you is under "How to use the Recovery Console" where it details how to boot into the recovery console using your CD. When your computer boots up press "Del" or if that doesn't work look at the black screen where it counts up your RAM to see what key to press" to enter the BIOS. It gives no options. Only to press F3 to quit. Hmm in your case moniand1 follow the instructions I gave above to boot into the BIOS but in your case rather than checking the boot order.
After that, your best shot might actually be to use a LiveCD of some variety. It sounds possible that your partition table is shot in which case booting from a LiveCD might enable you to rebuild it. The program Partition Table Doctor was mentioned earlier in this forum by somebody and might be of help. Or finally, if the data on the drive is not an issue at all. Is this a namebrand laptop like HP or Compaq?
They quite often have a "recovery partition" that allows you to restore the computer to what it was when it came out of the factory, a call to their technical support would reveal what the key to press is. Though you will lose anything you have put on the hard drive since. Another method if it's not a namebrand is to use killdisk. More full instructions are here:. Ahh classic problem. Is the "recovery Console" part of the Automated System Recovery? Please re-install a copy of above file.
The Recovery Console provides system repair and recovery functionality. Can someone tell my what I need to write next? I have 10 mb very important files on my computer and I do not wnat to format because I will lose them I know how to format it easy. I am running Windows Advanced Server, and our system took a power hit which I believe led to the hard drives getting corrupted krnl file. I've tried to place my windows cd and repair it manually, however when I attempt to access the hard disk drives it gives me an error stating "Cannot detect any hard disk drive ect ect" I'm basically stuck at this point.
I do not know how to load my ntoskrnl. Any help is grately appreciated. I currently have over 85 people with no email who are hating me right now. Yes, I do have backups, but not a full system backup. Would you possibly know why Im unable to restore from a Win CD? Probably because you need the SCSI drivers in order to install. This enables Windows to properly install onto an Array. It's actually happened twice in one day - I fixed it once or thought I did , and it happened later on the same night tonight.
Start with your RAM and do a chkdsk. If those both pass then might be a good idea to check the power supply and the motherboard. Have you tried a different keyboard by the way? I hate to say it but you are not in a good situation.
I don't suppose you happened to Install the Recovery Console to your hard drive? All the steps mentioned above use Recovery Console because ntoskrnl. After downloading and burning that image file restart. Unfortunately I haven't used it myself but imagine it is just the windows xp recovery console without the rest of the windows setup. If it fails because it says the destination is read only you will need to use this command and then try the expanding again:.
I've encountered this problem also and tried the recovery console, but every command came back as. Also that there was no option to Select the operating system , as it states in many procedure of rebuilding the Windows boot? Ouch notebook. That puts my first suggestion out the window. Both should have utilities to check the integrity of your hard drive because I'm not real hopeful at the moment that you hard drive isn't on the way out.
If you have an external hard drive as well.. Hook it up and try using the LiveCD to backup any data possible as well. And for a massive list of Live CD's..
Here's what happened to me and what I did to fix it. Windows Dell Optiplex GX First, Why did I get this problem. I set up in the new pod and plugged my computer in and halfway through the boot process the power on the surge protected outlet went out.
So power interruption was my culprit. I got the dreaded ntoskrnl. A few interesting things happened. The reason being looking back now was that my WINNT folder was toast, along with the system32 folder and everything in it. Good I thought, I am back to normal, I rebooted and Whamo! I tried every post on this discussion well at least up until page 9!
There were four subdirectories within the "Found. I was lucky enough to have another machine that I could stick my hard drive in and compare files to determine which folder was which. After renaming them and copying them back to the root of C: I was able to successfully start my computer. With time and patience I have fixed them. I had to find out what each "Found" folder was named originally and rename it and put it back in it's right place.
So if you run the Recovery Console and it finds and fixes the errors and you still have this problem, run Recovery Console again and run the DIR command and look for Directories named "Found. This may help you find what's missing and what has to be renamed.
Also I am going to follow my advice and make an image Ghost of my machine's hard drive. That has fixed my problem, a problem that I had previously been unable to solve on other computers. This was not the first time I have battled the "ntoskrnl. But this is the first time I have beaten it. Moderator, could you put a post near the first few pages encouraging people to keep reading all the posts on this topic because there are solutions for some people.
There seems to be different solutions for the same problems for different people. Is it because of different ways a person might get the error or because of the system running or what is the variable?
There are a lot of people having this problem It is possible that the problem is worse when using RAID configuration. Not that this would always work but it's worth a shot. Hi have the ntoskrnl. Try reseating your RAM Memory card.
Shut off pc, remove memoery card, clean card contacts and slot, then reinsert it, not sure of results, just see if it works or helps. Hi Guys, I have recently experienced the ntoskrnl. I tried both of the methods suggested by JrzyCrim but get either: 'The file could not be copied' or 'Unable to create file ntoskrnl. Any suggestions as to how solve my problem would be massively apreciated. Everything was running excellent, until yesterday Sunday when, for no apparent reason I got a 'system shut down message' and it went off before I got a chance to read it.
EXE missing or corrupt message, and it said to insert disc to repair. While I went to get my disc, the laptop made a few short beeps, went off, and it wont switch on at all now!!
