SBS2003 Standerd Ver R2: missing or corrupt ntoskrnl.exe. Lost CD :(

-

hi all,
have responsibility server running (an oem version of) sbs2003 std r2;
in last few days 2003 sbs o/s (on raid5) disks, crashed , remaining 2 disk became corrupted , left absolutely dead system; site uses appassure back-up/recovery solution, trouble managed restore c drive new single drive (not raid 5array) temporary fix replacement server arrived to be installed soon; on trying boot restored o/s getting "missing or corrupt ntoskrnl.exe" error;  have add seems of original system, driver & utilities (including os) cds have been lost; therefore not able run repair routine set disks; did try taking older back-up copy of ntoskrnl.exe, , replacing on restored drive seems file ok , throwing error message due other dependency?

my question is: feasible i'll able repair restored drive, using copies of backed c: drive taken few weeks before died , therefore file/s condition should considered "healthy"? have no other copy of install or original disks.

i have looked around (risky) torrent copies of install disks in hope of finding away of running repair routine, have not found online yet.

any helpful advise or input appreciated;

thanks in advance,
jim.


update:

after phoning around, have found friend copy of sbs2003 install cds; think i've got chance of doing via the recovery console although understand there may further issues see: social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/winservergen/thread/90d7f95e-4de9-483d-9609-1f52fd407c93
