Windows 2003 missing or corupt ntoskrnl.exe

A Windows 2003 Server was bluescreening with 0x00000007b error, which was a result of p2v conversion (scsi drivers were not injected at the end of the conversion). I no longer have access to a physical machine, so all I have is a virtual that needs to be repaired. Checkdisk identified logical problems on the drive and was able to repair them. After checkdisk finished I am getting

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:

Windows root\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
Please re-install a copy of the above file.

I am able to boot in to recovery console from the installation CD, but if I attempt to reintall windows on the top of the existing installation, the installer does not give me an option to repair and wants to install Windows in another directory.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
