My laptop fell
This is a discussion about My laptop fell in the Windows Software category; My laptop fell on my floor and though it wasn't a hard fall, it still seemed to be affecting my computer.

My laptop fell on my floor and though it wasn't a hard fall, it still seemed to be affecting my computer.

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<Windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe.
Please reinstall a copy of the above file.
I've searched Google for the problem and most solutions involve using your Windows XP CD to restore it. But I do not have an XP CD so is there any other solution?
I am currently on my brother's laptop and I was thinking possibly of copying the C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntoskrnl.exe file off his to a blank CD and putting it in my comp in hopes of it reinstalling.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Go ahead and do the copy job and if you have any more problems come back and repost.
Ok, I'll try it right now.
I got nothing.
You need to boot using the Recovery console or use a Linux Live CD to copy files to your Windows partition. Try Knoppix or one of the other Live CD distributions.
Thanks.
I rebooted again this evening and it worked this time.
