    Windows skips booting from DVD


    I was trying to duel boot Windows 7 and XP but when the XP installation rebooted I got this message:

    "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
    <Windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe.
    Please re-install a copy of the above file.



    Now, I tried to boot into my windows install disc and it just goes to the same error. So I am unable to boot from my hard drive and my dvd drive.

    My specs:

    Acer Aspire One AOD255-2256
    Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz.
    1GB DDR2 Ram
    160gb Sata HDD

    DVD drive is a Memorex 20x DVD+R USB 2.0 External Drive

    Boot pc up. And tap f8 key untill you get some options, select repair my computer.

    Looking at the error your getting I don't think a start up repair will help.

    I think you will need to run sfc /scannow

    I did that and I get Safe Mode options but no option to repair my computer. I select safe mode and I get this "Please select the operating system to start:
    Windows XP on F:\

    Then when I click on that it gives me the same error.
