Alright guys. One day, i was looking around my files for a folder that my buddy sent me.
I accidentally deleted a file called kernel32.dll. Apparently this is a vital file to run Windows. After i shutt he computer off, everything went wrong.
I tried to reboot and this is what happened.
1. Everything goes well until the Windows Screen.
2. A blue screen of death pops up saying that a file called kernel32.dll is missing and in order for windows to run properly, go and install the file.
So i'm like, huh?? And i go and get my Xp pro CD and try to just reinstall windows. However another set of problems come in.
1. Install goes until the stage where it says, preparing to install 39 minutes left.
2. A window pops up saying the file asms is missing and it wants me to locate the file. So i check the details of the problem and it says that there was a cycle redundancy. And it may be due to a scratched disc. So i popped in another one of my XP pro discs and same thing happens. I have a legal copy of xp pro, so bootleg is not an issue.
I looked on google to see if there was a solution to the problem, and i found a site.

It says to go into command prompt and type regedit.exe. However it doesn't work. So on the site it says to
Method 2
If you cannot start Regedit.exe at the command prompt, and there is another available partition where you can install Windows on the hard disk, follow these steps:
1. Install Windows in the other partition.
2. Start the new installation of Windows, and then start Regedit.exe.
3. Follow the steps in method 1, but load the System.sav hive from the original Windows folder.
Okay. So can someone tell me in leeman's terms how to go about fixing this problem? I think i am going insane. This has happened to my main rig, and i'm on my laptop right now, so i can't do anything. I need that computer for college in a week and i would greatly appreciate any help you could give me.'
Also, is there a way i can install kernel32.dll through BIOS or whatnot?? cause i can't get into windows so i can't just pop in a burned cd and install. Thanks.
