Usually you'll find it as c:\winnt
ok thanks
^^
So would it go
C:\%systemroot%\%windir% ??? I am confused. Please shed some light on this.
Go to start > run
Type %systemroot% and press enter. Easy as that. It's a system variable, used mostly for installers, so that they can install stuff to certain folders wherever they might be stashed.
%programfiles% works too
Hi, thanks for that kez,
i need to install ntosrknl from a windows dsk to system32 folder in windows. How do i go about. I have got half the command:
C:\expand d:\I386\ntoskrnl.ex_... now what? I have read it is c:\ but that does not work.
yes, i get an error when i boot, it says ntoskrnl file is corrupt.
with this command:
expand d:\i386\ntoskrnl.ex_c:\winnt\system32 i get an error:
The system cannot find the file or directory specified
help please !!!

Well, even if you only boot to a command prompt, the kernel file will still be in use, so that won't help you much. About the only options available would be booting from a Linux distro that can support an NTFS volume for read/write, or running a repair install on your 2K installation.
Shouldn't it not be reading the file at all though if using the recovery console on the 2k CD?
Theoretically, yes, but I'd guess that from the above he's F8-ing to a command prompt at startup and attempting the extraction from there.
