Ok, on my moms work computer for some reason when I boot it up, the computer go to saying choose safe mode boot, normal boot, blah blah blah.
i can't choose any of the options the keyboard is not responding.
I've tried 3 different boards,no help at all.
1 was a USB other 2 were the normal boards.
Once the wait is over to automaticly choose a boot option, it says
<windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe is missing or corrupt.
How do i fix this?
I've even switched the HardDrive with a spare HD I have.
Still says the same thing...kinda weird for it say it on the second one....
but how do i fix all this with the keyboard not workin to.

Insert your Xp disk into the CD drive, choose the boot from command prompt option in the menu that you are presented with
At the command prompt, type in the following:
copy d:\I386\Driver.cab c:\system32\ntoskrnl.exe /v
where d is the letter of your cd drive
press enter
Take the CD out when verified and reboot your computer

I too have this same issue with a hp 1000 cleared cmos got machine to post and stage like once got into windows and since i was in there I ran all kinds of programs adaware malerware reg seeker to try and clean it up the os on the sata drive seems intact whats freaky is I hooked up a ide drive that i know has a good os and got the same error and the keyboard issue is very consistent popped the cmos battery out and got lucky one more time on a good boot into the os while I was in there I figured I would install service pack 3 but to no avail I lost the keyboard again no f1 f2 f10 esc nothing when I did get into the os those couple of times playing around with the jumpers the option it gave me during post was to hit f1 or wait and of course f1 didn't work so I had to wait and when I waited it staged into windows and when I got into the os the keyboard worked in real time did a reboot and nothing right back to no keyboard and the same error message I think its a motherboard irq issue from the manufacture that is prone to defect the board itself dose not show any signs of damage to the naked eye I could never get the keyboard to let me in the bios I wish I could have, I would have liked to set it to usb keyboard support at a last attempt. any other thoughts before i tell my friend that were going to cannibalize it???
