How do I Re


1. Place the Windows XP CD into your CD-ROM drive. Reboot the computer. Press a key when prompted to boot to the CD rather than into Windows.
2. Allow the basic setup files to be loaded into memory. Press 'R' when prompted to start the Windows XP Recovery Console.
3. Choose the installation you want to log into; this will generally be the first option unless you have set up dual operating systems on the computer.
4. Log into the Administrator account. Enter the password that you set when you installed the operating system. If you did not create an Administrator password when you installed Windows, just press 'Enter' without entering a password.
5. Type the command 'expand x:\i386\ntoskrnl.ex_ y:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe' where 'x:' is the letter of your CD drive and 'y:' is the letter of your hard drive.
6. Remove the CD from the computer's optical drive. Type 'exit' to quit the Recovery Console. Allow the computer to boot into Windows.
