My laptop fell
My laptop fell on my floor and though it wasn't a hard fall, it still seemed to be affecting my computer. First everything went well, but then when I decided to restart my computer it went blank on me and this message came up.

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.

Ok, I'll try it right now.
Thanks.
I rebooted again this evening and it worked this time.
