Could use quick help w/ ntoskrnl.exe error (WinXP)
Hey guys, last night I restarted my comp only to find that my notsknrl. exe is corrupt or missing. The computer is running Win XP sp2 Home ed. , and I built this thing brand new about two months ago.

Now, I have the XP disc w/ me and I've used the recovery console to copy a the file into system32 from the driver cache, and even though it says the file has been copied successfully, I still can't get to windows.
The HD was oem (newegg.com), and I'm beginning to wonder if it has died already. However, I didn't have much saved on there that I can't get back, so I"m not totally against a fresh install of Win XP, formatting the HD, or simply buying a new one (although I"d like to avoid that hassle...).
Anyone want to help?

Okay, would you suggest I rewrite the boot.ini, or just try to copy the boot.ini, ntoskrnl.exe, ntldr, and ntldetect.com stuff back in from the winxp cd? (and no i'm not dual-booting, just one version of winxp home)
Anyway, i rebuilt the bootcfg file and now i'm missing the hal.dll file. What do I do?
On another note, I tried expanding ntoskrnl.exe, except expand is not recognized, however, copy is but Access is Denied... so I can't do that.
Any ideas?
