Hi, i have got a dell d600 laptop, but today when i was switching it on i get this error:
What shall i do? I am very unfamilar with dos and a step by step instruction would be helpful. :iloveyou:Quote:
Disk I/O error: Status = 00008002
Windows 2000 could not start because the following files is missing or corrupt:
<windows 2000 root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
1st thing - hope that you have good backups :)
2nd thing - get the win 2k disk in there and run a repair - that should fix it.
1- no backup :(
2: No windows 2k disk, but i do have win xp disk :(
You'll be able to use a PE disk to access the file system and back some data up.

then go find a win 2k disk - you'll fine reinstalling / repairing an OS a lot easier if you have the disk :)
if its a dell , then the chances are that it'll have a dell branded recovery disc somewhere ?
if you use that , make sure you've taken data off the system first as IIRC they flatten the system completly.
The laptop came win xp preinstalled with a win xp disc, but due to network incompatiblity with the office windows 2000 had to be installed. The discs are with the admins :(
One more question
Do notebook hard disks have same connectors as desktop. What i was thinking is if i connect it to a desktop pc:
a) i can backup
b) i can copy/paste staright away.
Thanks so much for ur help.
you'd need an adaptor to use a laptop HD in a desktop ( as mentioned in the other thread )
If you have ntoskrnl.exe on disc (or can download it and put it on cd/floppy), try booting into DOS/recovery console or what ever and you should be able to copy it over using CHDIR or CD to change directory to the cd/floppy, and than COPY ntoskrnl.exe <windows 2000 root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe.
Worked for me when I've had the same type of problem on xp.
When i do the above, through a win xp cd i get acess is denied error
How do i install ubcd4, i have downloaded it extracted it (it was a.exe file) and when i put the files extracted on the disc it dosen't make bootable cd :(
Thanks eveeryone for your help
