How to replace a corrupt file in XP Professional

Boot Camp will not open Windows because of a corrupt file. The file is in System 32 and is called "ntoskrnl.exe". I have copied this file from a PC to my G5 desktop. How do I find the Windows System 32 folder so I can drag the new file into it?

I am using Windows XP Professinal.
It is FAT 32
It will not open.
When I get the error message it says that I have a lost or corrupt file, "Windows\FAT 32\ntoskrnl.exe.
I have downloaded that file from a PC to a CD and placed it on the iMac G5 desktop.
I need to find how to get into the FAT32 folder so that I can drag the file from the desktop into that folder.
Thank you for your interest in helping me solve the problem. Parallels tech support told me it is an Apple problem. Apple tech support told me they know nothing about how to get into the XP files that are installed on the G5. They suggested I contact Microsoft tech support or post for help on this web site. Looks like you are the end of the road!

How to repear a corrupt file with Numbers

How to open a "corrupt" file with Numbers.
With excel it is possible to open such a file with the following error message :
"The file you are trying to open, 'filename.xls', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
Clicking YES, the file is opening correctly with XLS.
How to do the same with Numbers?
When i try to open the same file with numbers i have no "error message" but the information contained in the file is not readable.
Many thanks for your help

Yeah that's true to an extant; microsoft did a good job fixing that but unfortunately allowed it to be re-introduced in 2006 with windows vista where they allowed file naming to receive destructive values (wasn't very fond of this);
in previous versions of windows such values once entered would be followed by an error message telling you those values couldn't be used
I wasn't aware it would pop its ugly head back up into windows 7 but I see otherwise as in the case of mine
(I forgot to mention the period preceded a parenthesis which in turn can be destructive to the file's original format)
Anyway photoshop wont open the file after changing it to .psd leaving an error message stating....
'Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop'

How do I find corrupt file that would be disallowing proper exporting of movie?

How do I find corrupt file that would be disallowing proper exporting of movie?

I usually start by exporting to AME (as opposed to encoding "in-process" by clicking Export in the Export Settings dialog). Then watch the preview in AME's Encoding panel to see where it chokes. Adding an adjustment layer over the whole sequence with the Timecode effect applied--and scaled up to full frame width--can really help isolate the location.
That approach can be a pain in cases where it chugs away for a long time before encoding fails. In those cases, I use a divide-and-conquer approach:
Is it the video or the audio?: Disable all video tracks and encode. Then re-enable the video and mute all audio tracks
Where in the timeline is the problem: Export the first half, then the second half (using In/Out Points). Then keep dividing the half that fails until you've narrowed it down to a relative handful of clips.

How to delete a corrupted file

I have a file that failed in the process of being copied from a local hard drive to an external drive connected to my Time Capsule.
The Finder sometimes reports the partially copied file as there and sometimes not.
I have tried to delete the corrupted file but can not.
It returns a variety of error messages depending on how I try and delete it.
I have tried using a Terminal script, I have tried deleting the host folder which is empty otherwise. All attempts fail, reporting either that I do not have permission or that the file is in use (which it is not by anything other than the Finder,) depending on which method I'm trying to use to delete the file.
Is there another method to delete this file that I can try, perhaps something I am unaware of as a fairly new Mac user that is a kin to Force Quit for applications?
If not, can anyone recommend a third party file killer application that can get rid of this file once and for all?
I need to try again to copy the entire content of the host folder. I would rather not change the host folder name to avoid the copy operation failing because it can't overwrite the corrupted file. (The original file is still okay).
Hope this all makes sense and thanks for any advice or suggestions!

Hi Linc. Thanks for the prompt reply. It's really great to have such a resource as this.
I can say with certainty that the file is not locked but I'm afraid my inexperience needs a bit of clarification as to what "ACL" and "Is -Oel" means and how to go about posting its output!
I should also mention that the permissions read, "You have unknown access" and the size is Zero KB. From my experience on a PC I know neither is a good sign <G>.
Thanks again for your continued support.

How to restore a corrupted file?

Hello,
I have a problem with the Illustrator file I was working on. I cannot open it, and the icon of the file is a bit opaque with a grey cross. If I try to move it, a message says that the file is unavailable. But still is not an empty file. This is the property window:
Also, I stopped working around 01.00, so I don't know why the last access is at 02.36.
Is there any way to recover the information?
Thank you,

It's probably toast, but try this:
From Illustrator, try open recent file.
Create a new file and try to place the corrupt file into it.
Try to open it in Acrobat.
Change the extension to .pdf and try to open it in Acrobat and Illustrator.
here's a link you can try:

How to replace a native file without deleting it?

I was wondering if anyone can let me know to replace a native file without deleting it.
Thanks

Thanks for replying. Ok checking in a new revision is not an option. This document belongs to a plant. They have two revisions. One revision is released and other in Genwww. We have identified the issue which has a problem which has links that do not work. So people at plant do not want to check in a new revision as it goes through a 3 step workflow and it involves approvals etc. So best option here is to replace a native file and have the same approvers as what were there for revision 1. Would batch import work? If it does, how would it?
Thanks

How do I find corrupt file?

Recently a huge FCP project will not open. I just found out that it opens just fine when my media drive is not attached. I have trashed all my render files, cache files, settings/pref files, ran disk utilities, etc.
I believe it's one of my video/audio files. How do I find out which one it is?
Thanks in advance!

Interesting... I did what X suggested. However, I reconnected a few at a time since it would take an entire day. One reference movie file was acting weird, so I connected everything but that one. I saved a new file and quit. I attempted to open and started having the same problems, it would crash before totally open.
So I opened the original and connected all the media but my .jpg, .tif and .png files. Basically all my image files. Saved a new FCP project file. Quit FCP. The reopened the new FCP project file and wha lah, it opened. So it is in fact one of the image files. Now I just have to find out what file is doing it.
Thanks guys for your help. I'll report back one more time when I've found the specific file that's causing the problem.

How to replace m4a conversion files with original mp3 files in iTunes library to reduce disk space?

Hello
I have a rather large music collection most of which is in mp3 format and also kept in seperate folders to my iTunes music. I had iTunes set up copy media to iTunes folder as m4a so now have two sets of files which are now taking up a large proportion of my hard disk space. Is there an easy way to move my mp3 files into the Itunes folder to replace the copies then delete the copied files.
Many thanks

By m4a are we talking compressed AAC? Those don't take up any more room than the equivalent mp3 and probably give you better quality.
Are you positive those files are m4a? If iTunes is set to copy media when you add it to the library I don't think it converts. It only converts when you import.
Since we're not talking replacing mp3s with mp3s I don't know if there is an way to more or less invisibly replace the files. If you were replacing a file with one of identical file name, you can trick iTunes into accepting it. Since the new files end in mp3 and the old ones in m4a I suspect you will end up having to add the new files and delete the others. This will of course mean you have to rebuild playlists and update tags. Before you delete the old copy you can use Dougscript "Copy Tag Info Tracks To Tracks" to transfer some of the tag information that you might wish to retain such as playcount, ratings, last played, etc.

I upgraded to Mavericks. I now have a corrupt file in Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle - How can I fix this?

I Upgraded to Mavericks. I was having problems being able to run TimeMachine so nothing has been able to back-up since the upgrade. I have tried using Carbon Copy Cloner to back up the hard drive, and have been unsucsessful due to a damaged file at Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle. CCC takes days to try and find only those files it needs to back-up, so I have had to abort the back-up. I used TimeMachine before the Mavericks upgrade, but with Mavericks, it is not recognizing the old TimeMachine data and can't roll back to the previous software (Snow Leopard?).
How can I replace the corrupted files? Do I need to get a disc from Apple with the OSX software and then reload the operating system? Do I need to restore the operating system? Do I need to load Mavericks all over again and if so, how?

Thank you so much for your recommendation. In the end, I was able to restore from a version of TimeMachine that I had on my external hard drive. I first tried to restore to the earliest version of Mavericks and it had all kinds of issues with my computer being slow and unresponsive. Seeing that this was not going to get me any improvements, I did a second restore to the last version of MountainLion that preceeded the upgrade to Mavericks, and voila, my MacMini is back to its peppy operation. My computer is now restored and functional again.
I am really puzzled why the folks at the Apple Genius Bar could not suggest this. I had taken the computer and back up hard drive to them, but they told me that my problem was data related, and they don't get into data recovery or back-up issues. But that was ultimately what restored my system back to normal. I think they need to be better schooled on the problems that can be solved using TimeMachine. They had my external disk drive and should have seen that it was capable of restoring my computer and suggested that I go home to try that. But instead.
