>>I am also thinking that if i did manage to copy the ntoskrnl to d drive, there might possibly be more files that are corrupt and they would continue to display one at a time until i got them all replaced. You are probably on the money here. If ntOSkrnl is messed up, it's probably just the first in a long line of corrupted files. >>would it, if i could access the repair option, would it allow me to pick which drive to repair? YES. This is the ticket here. Your boot file is fine now (that was the hard part). You can select which drive needs to be repaired -- which copy of WIn2k need to be repaired. It will do a search. Keep playing with Win2k setup (it should be DOS-based) until you find it.

belker, ntoskrnl.exe is another of a handful of files W2K needs to boot. I doubt there will be a pile of other corrupted files. One other point the ERD is install specific they're not interchangable like boot disks. I hope you're up and running. I spent the day yesterday helping a friend who's PC got all screwed up after installing NAV. I didn't do the install. My friend called me Monday night that he couldn't get online after a NAV install. I spent 2 hours, uninstalling NAV reinstalling different versions of IE, installing Netscape, running system file checker and reinstalling Win 98. The fact that Netscape couldn't connect either told me it was a Windows problem but I couldn't solve it. Yesterday I reformatted his hard drive and reinstalled Win 98 only to find out that he only had an install disk from his old motherboard and Win 98 couldn't find quite a few things. the board was an Azza 5VMD and the only drivers I could find online didn't work, so..., I installed W2K which found everything fine and he's back up and running. Edit I left out the fact that my friend had a 2X AGP card that didn't have a brand on it and he didn't have the drivers. After the W2K install I checked and found out it was usin Intel drivers. Next time I go there I install Belarc and find out what kind of card it is.
