Server 2008 SP2 will not boot

Question

is there a way to extract the file from the server 2008 disk and replace the missing or corrupt file

error : 0xc0000225

\windows\system32\drivers\WRKRN.SYS

 Windows failed to load because a critical system driver is missing or corrupt

Answer 1

i would use the install media first and try 

checkdisk

boot in safe mode, remove this webroot software/device driver

last resort, plug the hard drive into another machine and restore the file manually (assuming there are no raid complications)

Windows Server products aren't supported here.  You need the Microsoft Technet forums.
