You guys do things so complicated. I'm a newb when it comes to this, but I got it werkin again. I actually came across the solution by accident, but basically what you have to do is just delete the ntoskrnl.exe through windows recovery thing on the windows cd, and then it'll start up fine. Also, for those of you who didnt back up the old ntoskrnl.exe (stupid :p), make sure you always have a backup before you replace it! I had one but I had it in my documents, and the recovery wouldnt let me get into the documents and settings folder. Now I have a backup in a folder in system32.

Edit - Also, when you get into windows, it should say there's a file missing (it might be when you open the windows folder, i dunno, but i had just got in and was in windows folder when it popped up) and it'll get it off the windows cd. You can also get the sp1 ntoskrnl from where the other guy said: C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\ntoskrnl.exe

Of course you can just go into recovery and type this:
COPY C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386\ntoskrnl.exe C:\Windows\System32
 
I had the same problem, all this changing around of stuff is kinda complicated, even thou i'm experience with OS SP1 damages more things than it fixes i'm waiting for an easy patch :)
 
drahzar when i did something similar which I thought would work I got stuck in that stupid loop. Funny thing is I was able to boot to safe mode & change it back.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
