What?
Ntoskrnl.exe is built and compiled at MS. It's on the install media (it can be compressed). No files are "built" at install time. And it's the reverse. NTOSKRNL.EXE is largely the executive of NT and it relies upon the HAL to abstract the hardware. Again, no .exe, .dll., ,sys, etc... files are "built" at install time. -sc From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Daniel Chenault Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2014 12:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] RE: move hdd with windows 7 on it Details, details... hal.dll exists on the installation media. ntoskrnl.exe is built at install-time and is used by hal.dll to handle hardware. Re-installing rebuilds ntoskrnl.exe, not hal.dll. So my wording was wrong but the end result is the same.

I cloned the hdd and installed it in a quad core i5 pc. It fails to boot and give the error "boot selection failed because required device is inaccessible" 0xc000000e. I obviously want to prevent from reinstalling the OS. Is the problem because I'm going from a dual to a quad core CPU? Does anyone know?
