if you have a backup you could use the recovery console to copy the file back into system32

No i don`t have a backup of my 2003 installation so i guess i have to reinstal 2003 again right how do i make a backup just in case it happen again?

Could it be ntoskrnl.exe? On my system (W2000) there is a copy in \System32\dllcache and one in (Windows)\Driver cache. The file in use is in System32.

Hi,

you could just do an inline repair of it,

insert the windows cd, boot from it, press enter to the first screen, F8 and then r to repair the installation.

This should replace all of the windows files with the ones from the cd.

BTW this will remove all hotfixes that are not slipstreamed onto the cd, so you will have to reinstall them

good luck!

That message is known to occur if your processor core is OC'ed way too much or you have way too little Vcore.

In those cases, Windows isn't corrupted and if you lower the processor clock or increase the Vcore, Windows will boot like nothing bad happened.

Was that PC's processor OC'ed at all?

It may be because of bad PSU a bad processor or bad RAM.

I dunno, but shouldn't the GRUB bootloader prevent that from occurring?

Yes it should but GRUB bootloader in Linux Kubuntu cot only find my Windows XP SP2 installation for some reason.

Remember that ntoskrnl.exe depends on how many cpu's you have. If you have multiple cpu's setup renames ntkrnlpa.exe to ntoskrnl.exe.
