file is missing or corrupt windows 2000 root\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
HI there,
I ve got some really big issues with my hard drive. I ve been reinstalling win 2K 4 times now, everytime with a complete format of my principal partition. The 3 first time the OS after install start well and was stable but everytime that I shut down the system when I restart it there are some missing files. Now event after a full format and clean install I cannot boot the system and the following error is displayed:
Disk I/O error: Status =00001001
Disk I/O error: Status =00001008
windows 2000 could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
windows 2000 root\system32\ntoskrnl.exe.
Please reinstall a copy of the above file.
I don t know what to do furthermore I m using this machine at work I really need a solution very soon. It lokes like I having a worm or something like that on my system and I m affraid that my master table and my boot sector could have been damage at some point. Are there some software which could boot from CD or floppt and allow me to rescue my HD. I don t know what to do. My british warranty is still on until december the 6 but I m currently in a pacific island for 6 month , how could I deal with that.
Thanks very much for helping me.

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\winnt="Windows NT workstation"
Check that disk and partition are correct. If you have recently added a new disk or altered the partitions try changing the disk() and partition() values. If you are sure everything is OK, then the actual file may be corrupt so copy NTOSKRNL.EXE off of the installation CD onto the %systemroot%/system32 directory.
You may need to edit the boot.ini if Linux is installed onto a system. During installation DiskDruid (Red Hats disk configuration utility) may create a primary partition (depending on disk configuration) and although the extended NT partition was there first (and at the beginning of the disk), the primary partition affects the numbering of the partition() parameter of boot.ini. Changing it from (1) to (2) (for example) allows the successful boot of NT.

windows root\system32\ntoskrnl.exe is missing or corrupt
Please re-install a copy of the above file.
I can't access Windows to fix the problem and any operating cd i put in doesn't help. i have looked at other solutions to this problem and many say that i should edit the Boot.ini file but i can't access this because i can't access windows and many other suggest that i use the recovery console but i do not know how to access this or what to do with it. i use windows xp.
Can anyone please help?

You need to have your windows disk. I have had this problem with Win2k. Boot up with the cd. Follow the instructions to do an emergency repair. If you do not have an ERD already made (none of us ever do) have windows search your disk (I believe you will type "L" if I remember correctly) to make one for you. Let me know if you have any problems or questions.
