I have a multiboot XP and Vista Business system. XP is on C: and Vista is on D: I ran SP1 for Vista and all seemed normal until the final reboot when the system failed with ntoskrnl corrupt or missing (0xc0000098). I ran spotmau 2008 professional to recover the ntoskrnl. That solved that problem, now I get PSHED.dll corrupt or missing. When I run automatic repair from a Vista Installation disk it fails and shows PSHED.dll is corrupt or missing. I try doing system restore from the installation disk and it does not find a restore point. chkdsk does not indicate any errors on the disk. I really don't want to do a clean reinstall as I will lose my Office 2007. I don't want to repurchase Office 2007.
I am now stumped. I did not make a sytem backup before doing the update as it ran successfully on another system. Is there anyway to expand these missing/corrupt files from the installation disk as in XP?
The Windows XP Pro installation still works fine. The BCD seems ok. I tried safe mode in all options with no success.
Thanks for any help, Ken
