roger04 Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Hi all,I've changed my ntoskrnl.exe file long ago and I've no backup of the original for it. Now when I try to install the Win XP SP2 Build 2162 it says my ntoskrnl.exe is changed and it's needed to run that installation. Is there anyway I can download/repair the file? Please help.I have:Win XP Pro Corp SP1 Thanks,Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 hi look on your original XP CD , its there NTOSKRNL.EX_ copy it 2 your desktop, goto start > run > cmdtype:expand "%userprofile%\Desktop\NTOSKRNL.EX_" "%userprofile%\Desktop\NTOSKRNL.exe" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 i forgot 2 add, just overwrite all existances of it with the original 1 (the 1 just extracted) should only be in WINDOWS\System32 EDIT: instead of always replacing your ntoskrnl.exe with a "patched" 1, do thiscopy the custom kernel to the system32 folder inside windows directory rename the custom ntoskrnl.exe to mykernel.exe or whatever name u wantedit boot.ini the line with your OS on it, put this/kernel=mykernel.exe it will read [operating systems]multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /kernel=mykernel.exeregards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger04 Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 MCT, I've found it the file in CD But that command did not workI typed C:\Documents and Settings\myname>%userprofile%\Desktop\NTOSKRNL.EX_" "%userprofile%\Desktop\NTOSKRNL.execame up:'C:\Documents' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch fileWhat's the problem?

MCT Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 u didnt type it like i saidexpand "%userprofile%\Desktop\NTOSKRNL.EX_" "%userprofile%\Desktop\NTOSKRNL.exe"nothing more nothing lessEDIT: by what u posted, it looks like u missed quotes EDIT2: the size is correct, because the other file contains larger images, u can also open the file with an extracting program, like powerarchiver, 2 extract the file, but this is easierregards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
