ntoskrnl.exe is missing or corrupt

[bfletch]

Can someone give me help with the below error. I happened after I installed Symantec NAV 10. The computer worked fine for a couple of days then this happened, not sure if it has anything to do with the problem or not. I did not may a ERD, but I can access the recovery console. Any help or sugguestions are appreciated.

Windows 2000 could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<windows 2000 root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe.
Please re-install a copy of the above file.

Invalid BOOT.INI file
Booting from C:\winnt\

If you're not sorted, I'd run chkdsk /p from recovery console (sometimes a bit of filestore gets corrupted - and there's a system file in the corrupted area).
