| chkdsk; Ran on restart, deleted a System32 file While checking for corrupted files, it found the file, and removed it. Completely. Didn't fix it, didn't tell me to put in a disk so I could replace it, just removed it. So now my computer can't boot into XP, no matter what I try. I would just completely reinstall, but I left the XP-Home disc at my parents' house. Is there anything at all I can do here? To reiterate: chkdsk deleted a file from system32, so now my computer can't boot XP. EDIT: I retried the boot, this time turning off the automatic restart, and got this message on a bluescreen: Stop: c0000135 {Unable To Locate Component} This application has failed to start because KERNEL32.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Last edited by Genereaver : 28-04-2009 at 04:13 AM. Reason: More information. |

You will need your XP cd then you can perform a "repair install" Google for exact instuctions if needed |

How lucky do you feel? If you don't have your Windows disks, you might try to boot from a Live Linux CD such as Knoppix. If you can get a copy of the file you are missing from another Windows machine with similar version, you might be able to put the file back from a thumb drive and reboot. No guarantees, though. At a minimum, you can use the Knoppix disk to back up your data files to a USB drive or over the network in case you need to start anew... Knoppix |

I actually ended up downloading a thing that lets me put stuff in. Unfortunately, it looks like kernel23.dll is modified as you use your computer, so when I put it in the computer decided that I need to reauthenticate Windows. Since I have neither the CD nor the necessary code, that's not happening. Looks like it is. I went back in, deleted the one I added, and grabbed the copy from the folder 'dllcache'. Used that instead, and now everything works just fine. Thanks for all your help! |

Bummer. Now that I look, I see that my kernel.dll file has a modify date of about a week ago. I wonder if that is one of the files that is backed up in a System Restore point? -- John |
