Cannot start the computer (error hal.dll)

Hi, I use Windows xp and when it loads, it says:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\System32\hal.dll
Please reinstall a copy of the top of the queue.

I have the original Windows xp cd and when I boot from the cd the blue screen comes up saying "Windows Setup".
It automatically start doing something and then he stuck to "ACPI Plug & Play bus driver. Stucks HE there for a while and when it ends, I got an error message that says: "file acpi.sys cause unexpected error (32768) to 5964 in d:\xpsprtm\base\boot\setup\setup.c line."

And when I press any button it just restarts the computer and it makes a loop in this way.
And by the way, safe mode and all the other modes do not work, I get the same error for hal.dll, and I can't reach the office.

Help, please!

UPDATE: this time I received the error "acpi.sys file caused...". "now, I got that it's corrupted.

It is extremely unlikely that the hal.dll file is missing or damaged.

It is extremely likely that XP just cannot find the file.

I have no idea what you have tried so far things - have you tried to do a repair installation?

For this error, I first start in the XP Recovery Console (by pressing 'R' of your bootable CD) and run chkdsk /r on your system and then see how things appear after that, but try this notice from the Support Engineer and see how it works.

If you can't get into the Recovery Console any CD you or you are not sure what type of bootable media you have, you should make a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required) and do not forget what you have.

Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

Provide information on your system, the better you can:

What is your system brand and model?

What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

Your system's disks IDE or SATA drives?

Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  • "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer" error during the upgrade of Vista in Windows XP

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1505, that is running Windows XP Media Center Sp3. I'm doing a place in upgrading to Vista since the disks to upgrade Dell... Everything's fine until the 'Expansion of the files' [27%], then the installation fails with this message: "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer. Installation cannot continue. Any changes made to your computer during the upgrade". I did a google search for a fix that involves changing a value in the registry in the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E976-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} for example change the value to PartMgr Upperfilters. Unfortunately, this value was the default for my registry key changes could be made. Some other fixes involved the renaming of Upperfilter.bak, for Upperfilters unfortunately this .bak value does not exist in my registry.

    I tried to boot from the disk of Vista and changing the msconfig for a selective startup but without result.

    In addition, the stall even appears at a similar point when you try to upgrade to Windows 7. Is it because of the presence of hidden Media Direct and Dell restore partitions? Compatibility Assistant programs for the two operating systems found nothing significant. Anti virus has been disabled during the installation procedure. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

     

    Hello

    Not quite, but pretty close. Media Direct could not lock the boot sector. It must be a BIOS lock or a mechanism of protection provided by your antivirus software.  Given that, I would check your program settings then for all that prevents changes to the boot sector. You may find more easy just uninstall it and reinstall it after the upgrade. Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org

    I fixed with a virus program all viruses on my laptop, and of course I deleted one is infected.

    When I rebooted my laptop that the engine was told that autocheck was not found and I want to skip this task.

    After that, I come to the xp-connection (I've never seen before) showing my user name in the user field and asks me to put a password. (I've not due to the fact that I've never used it)

    If I just go along to a click on OK without putting a password the laptop starts up (with the corresponding music) and stops after a few seconds.

    Finally I got to the same place, I described at the beginning.

    Hello

    First the form of Toshiba standard language is English and all ads that are written in other languages will be erase.

    Now on your problem: he s strange! Have you tried to boot the operating system in safe mode? You can start the operating system in safe mode by pressing the F8 key so the unit to boot.
    Then you can try to check the system.
    If this procedure doesn't work, well in my opinion the easiest workaround is to recover the OS with the supplied restore CD.

    Hope it of understandable for you and I hope that these tips will help you

  • Cannot defragment the hard drive AND cannot start the computer in safe mode

    I have been unable to defragment my hard drive because it tells me that chkdsk /f planned.  I tried manually works in command mode nothing works.  I was advised to try to start up in safe mode, but when I do that all I get is a screen of command lines, and my computer freezes there.  What I'm doing wrong and what I can do differently?

    If you try to defragment a volume and see a message like this:

    Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
    Please run Chkdsk /f.

    This means that the volume (disk) that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

    To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open a command prompt window.

    For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

    fsutil dirty query C:

    The sample output:
    Volume c is dirty
    Volume C: is dirty

    Is the volume of your sale or it is not dirty?

    The only way to disable the on a volume's dirty bit is to run chkdsk with error correction.

    You can click on start, run and enter in the box:

    Chkdsk /r

    Click OK and answer Yes to schedule the chkdsk next time XP restarts, restart your system and keep your fingers crossed that the chkdsk /r clears the dirty bit (you may need to run once or twice).

    If who disobeys, then you will need to start in the XP Recovery Console and run the chkdsk /r from there.

    Hi juergenp,

    Here it s an international forum for the user to so there is only English support, but I put t think that it s a problem to understand the English language ;)

    In any case, I watched your video and your computer can t start correctly, it gives you just a certain code of beep.
    These beep codes mean that there is a hardware malfunction detected.

    Theoretically, it could be the RAM to malfunction. So if you have two modules of RAM installed, test it with a module only and this module in each slot to make sure that it s not a RAM slot problem itself.

    In the worst cases, another part is related as the motherboard or something else. In this case, you should contact a service provider authorized in your country. Guys can you help you get rid of this problem if your laptop is under warranty, the repair would be free. :)
