Wont let me press r and get that menu ?!!!!!!!!!
From: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000646.htm If the ntoskrnl.exe file is corrupt or missing this can also generate the error. To restore this file follow the below steps. 1. Insert the Microsoft Windows XP CD. Note: If you have a recovery CD or a restore CD and not a Microsoft Windows XP CD it is likely the below steps will not resolve your issue. 2. Reboot the computer, as the computer is starting you should see a message to press any key to boot from the CD. When you see this message press any key. 3. In the Microsoft Windows XP setup menu press the R key to enter the recovery console. 4. Select the operating system you wish to fix, and then enter the administrator password. 5. Type expand d:\i386\ntoskrnl.ex_ c:\windows\system32 6. You will then be prompted if you wish to overwrite the file type Y and press enter to overwrite the file. 7. Type exit to reboot the computer. If you only have a restore CD, this probably won't work. You should just start the restore all over again, if this is the case.
SOURCE: startup problem
i had a similar case with a desktop. final solution was to get another hard drive and "start over". to recover your personal files, get a mini hard drive enclosure and connect to your newly-drived lap with USB and transfer them. There is another, cheaper solution, although I have not ever tried it. During startup, press the F6 or F8 key to see a list of possible startup options (or read your manual for mfg-specific keys). Look for one that hopefully says "abort restore operation".
