I had the <Windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe missing/corrupted error
message a while ago. Now, I think I messed my D drive. All I want is to
format everything and get my computer back to its original state when I
bought it. What should I do? Please help.

Disconnect D: drive (physically),on start-up,boot to BIOS,install xp
cd,select
to boot to cd (boot priority or similiar),at boot cd menu screen
select,install
xp,new copy,delete the partition (C,create one,then let xp format and
install auto.
