This is worth a try:
Reboot the computer but start tapping the F8 key to get to safe mode. If you can get there... select Safe Mode with Command Prompt type sfc /scannow and hit enter. Hopefully it will find a good copy of the file from the cache. |

What version of windows is it?
Do you have another computer with the same version of the operating system? Do you have a USB drive (thumb drive)? |

Would the simple but expensive way to solve this,is to buy an external disc drive?
Or is there a way i can use my driver on my PC? |

Do you have a windows XP home disk?
If so, the simple... fairly inexpensive($10?), thing to try would be for you to get a thumb drive, install a Linux distro on it and see if we can get your system to boot to Linux. If we can, then we can expand a new ntoskrnl.exe file onto the thumb drive and use it to copy to your hard drive. If this corrupted file is the only problem, that should get you going again. |
