Never had to do this before....anyhow come across this on another website.

1. Insert and boot from your WindowsXP CD.
2. At the first R=Repair option, press the R key
3. Press the number that corresponds to the correct location for the installation of Windows you want to repair.
4. Typically this will be #1
5. Change to the drive that has the CD ROM.
6. CD i386
7. expand ntkrnlmp.ex_ C:\Windows\System32\ntoskrnl.exe
8.If WindowsXP is installed in a different location, just make the necessary change to C:\Windows
9.Take out the CD ROM and type exit

Hope it helps ya

Cheers
