NTOSKRNL. EXE missing or corrupt error at startup

It is a Win XP SP3 on an HP Pavilion PC

The subject error occurs at startup.

I can start the test software of HP on the hard drive and run it tells me that the HD is functional.  Software test done HP report a problem with the HD and said that a recovery is not recommended.

I rebooted and started from C/D and entered the Recovery Console.  I ran CHKDSK/r, and he reported no problems.  I ran CHKDSK C: /R and he ran up to 50% and then remained there overnight continued to access the HD but no sign of progress.

If I do a folder on drive H: (recovery partition) it responds very well.

If I do a DIR on C: command I get "an error occurred during directory enumeration"

The basis of Microsoft Support has an article covering this on Win 2000 but not XP.  And the suggested fixes don't seem to apply.

Any thoughts on what file in the partition C: could have been destroyed and how can I fix it?

Thank you

Bill

1. I will read up on FSUTIL.  This would be executed on the command RUN under start?

2 - the file that you are referring to is $UsnJrnl to the root?  Also what $LogFile in the root?

3 - CHKDSK no a/p and / r as params.

1 - Fsutil is run at the command prompt, to start a session prompt type cmd in the box run from the start menu.  If you get a message telling you that the change journal is not active then the USN journal is not the cause of your problems, that the change log not being active is normal, the change log is not a required data structure, and it is not enabled on all machines.  The newspaper is generally enabled by services such as indexing or some AV programs and backup utilities.  See here for more help on the command: Fsutil: usn

2 - Yes, the USN Journal is $UsnJrnl.  Contrary to the $UsnJrnl the $LogFile is an important data structure that is present on all NTFS volumes, it is a transaction log file used to ensure recovery from file system.  It is not recommended that you are the NTFS metadata files, alteration of these data structures can damage or destroy the file system.

3 - CHKDSK no a/p and / r in the Recovery Console, but in a Windows session normal la/f, / v, / r/x, / I, / c and / switches are available.  The /f switch is equivalent to the switch/p recovery console, mounted as a volume of data, you will be able to run one of the switches above on the volume during a normal Windows session.

For you tell the truth, my feeling is that the MFT is corruption, and that the chances are slim that the USN journal is at fault, but you should always delete and see if things improve before you use the formatting the drive.

    The internal HARD disk is not bootable, and I tried to reinstall Windows. If I enter the start menu and run the hardware the CPU, HDD diagnostic tests, CHIP and memory tests are passed everything is OK.

    I know that you can often correct this type of error by running the repair of the system, but since I can't even boot from the installation DVD is not an option.

    Any suggestions as to what is the cause and how can I solve it?

    Thank you

    I managed to solve this problem. I was able to get the system to boot from a Windows 10 installation DVD and could then access the HARD disk. I couldn't install Windows in the main partition, so I deleted all 3 partitions on the disk. I was able to boot from the Windows 7 USB installation and do a fresh install on the drive successfully. It seems that the problem was caused by some kind of corruption on the HARD disk.

    Pavilion g4 with Windows 7

    Try to open Microsoft Office library files, I get the following error message: "this program is unable to run because of missing or corrupted files.  Contact the manufacturer of your computer. "Also, seen in the library, Microsoft Office files do not display their characteristic icons (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.).  All cultures view the Red page, icon.  However, when I open the files of their respective programs, i.e. all first open MS Word and then open one of the files affected by the program, they open without difficulty.

    By 'Library' you mean say Windows Explorer instead, or you want to say in the Documents folder in the library section?

    What version of Microsoft Office is installed?

    Icons expected loss means that files have lost the link with the program which aims to open. It is quite easy to repair.

    I would love to follow the instructions, but the cd supplied with the machine (Dell) is to reinstall Windows only.  We are unable to boot from it.

    Dells make it easy to start with the bootable CD. All you need to do is press F12 as soon as you turn on the PC. Then you will see a screen that looks like this:

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

Now, I get the "there has been a change in software/hardware to the system; Winload is missing or corrupted"error and does not start for Vista Business. I can get to quick system via the Recovery Console, but it does show X: and doesn't let me change to C:. It does not show me the C: drive for repair.

    System:

    HITACHI Travelstar hard drive 80 gig

    Nice day

    I'm getting this ' file is missing or damaged:------WINDOWS-SYSTEM32-CONFIG-SYSTEM ' error and Windows does not start in the F8 boot options. When I disable the auto reboot, I get a BSOD 51 registry error, consistent with the file "missing or corrupt" error Surprisingly "Recovery Console" works so I used to run chkdsk. This has not solved the problem, but even once, surprisingly, the utility reported no fixed error. Ok. I do research online (using another computer of course) and check out the many tips that I copy some files in my "c:\windows\repair" folder in the folder 'system '. Before I had time to do that, however, I found an article from Microsoft stating that this should not be done if you have an OEM System... what I'm doing. Apparently, hives system on these OEM installed OS set other passwords that can permanently block you on your records if you use this method. Thanks for the warning. My system restore disc is nothing more than a tool of re-insall OS that will wipe all my data in the process, and this is not desirable. Currently, I see again all my data on the drive by using the "recovery console". I'm ready to thread the needle on this one in the hope of re - access the operating system, although in some limited capacity. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    When you run chkdsk in RC, did you use the /r switch? This is the key! In other words, this should be the command:

    Chkdsk /r

    (there is a space before the slash)

    Moreover, KB307545 can be run safely on most OEM XP installations. Of course, nothing is guaranteed 100%.

    Before you do this or else, you really must ensure all data is stored safely. One way to do this is to start on a live Linux CD and then copy the files to an external hard drive. Another way is to connect the problem hard drive into a working PC and copy the files in this way. This could be done by the servo drive or with an adapter like this:
