My system suddenly won't boot. Receive error message that ntoskrnl.exe is corrupt or missing. Upon pressing F10 I get a setup utility but no access to anything to change clock. Would love it if there were a place to chat real time to make all of this faster but any/all replies will be much appreciated! I'm not totally comp. illiterate but I'm not a brilliant sysytem op either.

ok. So how do I get to where I can edit the boot.ini file? My system won't let me even boot in safe mode; I get the Compaq splash screen, a SCSI message (been there for years now and sys worked fin) and then gives error message that boot.ini is invalid and sys is loading from C:\winnt. Then I get the message, "Win2000 could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:<windows 2000 root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe. Please re-install a copy of the above file".

Yep. I've tried safe mode, last good config, everything. I've even tried with my cd in the drive to re-install the file but the drive never starts.

I'm hoping someone can help. I'm capable of following directions to a 'T' and will not blame someone who is honestly trying to help me. Please, anybody have any ideas?
