i had this problem and now i have it again i type expand d:i386\ntoskrnl.ex_c:windows\system32 i get the system cannot find the file or directory specified HELP
I am getting this same error <Windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe. I see the comments to enter the other i386 stuff however I have not seen where I can actually type in anything. Where do I type this at? I have tried several times to reinstall with my CD but I continue to get the same error.
insert the cd start the computer when the dell screen appears on the top it says to press F12 for the boot up menu (press f12) u will get a menu the second from the top is cd/dvd go to it and click enter a blank black screen will appear wait a couple of seconds and u will be prompted to press any key to boot from the cd do so setup will initiate wait until u get a screen that says to press R for the recovery console do so then a black screen will appaer wait until it prompts for what installation u want to repair in my case 1.c:windows write whatever number is in front of what u want to repair and press enter wait and u will be able to type what the experts r saying to type the rest ... u probably know or will need to find from an online article since for some reason my computer refuses to do what i command...
Take the CD out when verified and reboot your computer.

Click My Computer/C:Windows/System32/ - and rename ntoskrnl.exe to ntoskrnl-old.exe and press enter. A copy of ntoskrnl.exe will be added to the system32 folder. So you will have a copy of ntoskrnl-old.exe and ntoskrnl.exe If you still have a problem then it's XP CD...

I am closing this thread. The original question was posed by 'theneedtolearn' and we are trying to give him an answer. The thread was then hijacked by brailley and it has become impossible for the OP to get the help he has asked for.
To 'theneedtolearn'. Please start a new thread with your question and we'll try again.
To 'brailley'. Please do not jump into someone else's thread. If you have a question please start your own thread.

Do you know that we're all in line for succession to the throne? Really?
Well, if forty-eight million, two hundred thousand, seven hundred and one people died I'd be Queen.
