Symptoms
When you try to start Windows on a system with IBM OS/2 version 2.x, the following error message is displayed:

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \System32\ Ntoskrnl.exe.

Cause

OS/2 Boot Manager creates another primary hard disk partition that is enumerated before any extended partitions.

Resolution

Edit your Boot.ini file and change the partition information by performing the following steps:
Remove the Read Only and System File attributes from the Boot.ini file by typing the following command at an MS-DOS or OS/2 command line:
Attrib -S -R C:\Boot.ini
Edit the Boot.ini file and change the partition number for Windows. In most cases, you need to increase the partition number by one. A typical Windows line in the Boot.ini file looks similar to the following, where x is the partition number and is the name of the folder into which Windows is installed:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(x)\="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00"
