At startup I get the black screen and the message "the following file is missing or corrupt: winnt32/ntoskrnl." The problem started when my wireless kb and mouse croaked. Nothing I did would get the to work so I ended up having to power the system down while in still in Windows. The next time it booted I got the message. I have a pretty good idea what happened, but I was too lazy so I never made an emergency repair disk (learned my lesson for next time). Is there any way to fix this without an ERD or am I pretty much out of luck?
