• Error Hal.dll not found or currupted

  Hello

  Just, I restarted my laptop and was greeted with this message. Then I tried to re - install windows xp family and the same error.

  I don't have my cd of XP Home so I used my version of the Home Office. Does this matter at all or what could be the problem.

  Help, please
  Joe

  If you get an error about a missing or corrupt hal.dll file, it could simply be the BOOT. INI file in the root of the C: drive that is misconfigured

  Insert and boot from your Windows XP CD.

  At the first R = repair option, press the R key

  Press the number that corresponds to the correct location of the Windows installation you want to repair. In general, this will be #1
  Type bootcfg/list to display these entries in the TRUNK. INI file

  Type bootcfg /rebuild to fix

  Exit at the exit of the CD ROM and type

  There are also quite a few pages explaining what to do:

• 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?

• HAL.dll corrupt but no cd for windows available

  I'm working to fix the computer of a friend - she has the hal.dll is missing or corrupt message. I see a lot of information available for me to work through--but my problem is that all the solutions I've seen so far require the windows CD - which, unfortunately, is not.

  It seems (depending on brand and model) it running Windows XP Home Edition - I have my own windows for XP Pro CD - can I use? Is there another way I can get this repair of the ground?

  CD worked - message returned is:

  Cannot create the file hal.dll

  Looks like you can have more than one installation of windows that appears inside the boot.ini file.

  1. use the Windows XP CD to start your computer.

  2. When you receive the message to press R to repair Windows by using the Recovery Console, press the R key.

  3. Select the Windows installation that you want, and then type the administrator password when you are prompted. If no password has been set just press ENTER.

  4. type bootcfg/Rebuild, and then press ENTER.
    
  5. when the Windows installation is located, the following instructions are displayed:
       
  Add installation to boot list? (Yes/no/all)
       
  [Type Y in response to this message.]

  Enter load identifier:

  [This is the name of the operating system. Type Windows XP Professional or Windows XP Home Edition].

  Enter operating system load options:

  Leave this field blank, and then press ENTER.

  After completing the previous steps, restart the computer, and then select the first item in the start menu. This should allow Windows XP to start normally.

  After Windows XP is successfully loaded, the Boot.ini file can be modified to remove the incorrect entry. Post your results and I will show you how to remove the invalid boot.ini file.

• Windows xp sp3 system root of the Hal.dll error or not found after auto update of windows system corrupt does not load.

  12/07/2011 my system automatically downloaded a system update and rebooted when it restarted, it wouldn't load windows and gave this error message. What should I do? I tried to remove the hard drive and put it on another computer if I could look at the problem but I don't know what to do to fix. My backup information are on another hard drive in the original computer. I use Norton 360 for my backups.

  It is extremely unlikely, there is nothing wrong with your file hal.dll despite what says the error message (do not try to replace).

  It is extremely likely that XP just cannot find the fine hal.dll where it says to look for.

  XP is maybe not able to find the file, it's file system is corrupted (Norton that sometimes), or if your c:\boot.ini has somehow become corrupted and told XP to find files in never never land.

  You must first run a chkdsk /r on your distressed HARD drive and if that does not do it, you have to redefine your boot.ini file.

  If you have the drive in another machine, you can open the file c:\boot.ini with a text editor and copy/paste the content back here for analysis.

  You can also rename your file c:\boot.ini to something like c:\boot.ini.bak (so now you do not).  In a single partition installation, XP is not even a file c:\boot.ini to start.  He'll complain briefly, but always begin (unbelievers - try it).

  t can 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.

  I'll keep an eye on your Norton since when your charge again, Norton System may corrupt your file system again and you will have to repeat the chkdsk/r to repair (so you can set Norton).

  I put the drive in the original system and fix it there with the XP Recovery Console.  After all, it's where he has to work, right?

  If you have any bootable XP installation CD authentic where you can start the XP Recovery CD of Console, you can make a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required).

  I installed Norton 360 offred via internet was last updated.  It immediately launched all applications previously disabled at STARTUP in msconfig.  And shortly after he started to gives me the blue screen "to the death".  This done in two days, and I was desperately trying to solve the problem by turning off almost all applications critical to running Windows XP Pro SP3, Norton and Office 2007 Home and student.  I even went and tried to edit the Boot.ini file in startup and recovery under the Advanced tab in the workstation properties.  Now all I get is an error message Windows cannot start because the hal.dll file is missing or damaged.  I replaced it by copying a modified version of the boot sequence, while the hard drive of my laptop was enslaved to my desktp PC, but nothing helped.  I can't even the Recovery Console to start on my laptop.  I need HELP, please.

• Missing or corrupt HAL.dll

  Hi all

  I'm working on a laptop (toshiba satellite) that does not start and displays the message "Windows could not start because of the following problem - the following files are missing or corrupt - hal.dll.

  I tried to start form a XP disk and it hangs where it says, "Starting Windows" so I can't repair or the recovery console option. I ran as a result of power mau who said he replaced the boot with the new files and tried all the other recovery options. I still get the same message at startup. I then ran a Kaspersky Antivirus iso to cd rom and he said there were three viruses, but when I tried to rename or delete, it says that they were write-protected and could not be removed.

  I was starting to think that maybe the hard drive was dead, but would not be Windows Installer or iso Kaspersky told me that?

  Running out of ideas here and any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you

  Mark
