    I had a friend borrow my laptop. I had not made a restore disk. When I got it back and turned it on an all black screen appeared

    "" WINDOWS COULD NOT START BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOWING FILE IS MISSING OR CORRUPT:
    <WINDOWS root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
    Please re-install a copy of the above file."

    I have tried the reboot menu and restore to last known good config..
    Does anyone know where I can get a copy free of the Restore disk?

    Unfortunately ~Q~, that MS article only applies to windows NT and 2K.
    I suspect the person may be running XP or Vista. Have another link?

    Not knowing exactly what model, there are 48 that start DV6000,

    you might be able to purchase a restore CD from HP.

    I've purchased CDs from HP in the past.

    If there is a hidden partition, with the restore on it, read through this

    you may be able to recover your laptop.
