A kernel file
Dear all:
I have a server running Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition which I access remotely. After logging off my remote session, I later tried to reconnect to the server remotely but to no avail. When I visited the server room to have a look at the
server, I got the the below message:
A kernel file is missing from the disk.
Insert a system diskette and restart the system
In other to resolve this problem, I booted from the from the Windows 2003 operating system cd and tried to repair but it didn't work. I later on ran this command: chkdsk /r /f
which after running still give the below output:
A kernel file is missing from the disk.
Insert a system diskette and restart the system
Can anyone help me on this?

These articles may help. You can try booting from floppy to confirm.
