If I run chkdsk will that repair the missing ntoskrnl.exe? I have a computer
right now started with the boot disk, can't I just copy this file from the CD
to the winnt\system32?

This thread is getting a bit disjointed - I don't really know who
started it and what the original problem was. However, running
chkdsk is unlikely to resolve a "missing ntoskrnl.exe" issue.

I suggest you start a new thread and describe your problem and
also the recent history of the machine.
