How to fix the < windowsroot > \system32\hal.dll.

I have a fujitsu siemens amilo L7310GW. When you try to turn on just to get this message. Windows could not start because the following file is missing or damaged \system32\hal.dll. Please reinstall a copy of the above file. I don't have a copy of the windows xp disc as it came pre loaded on the computer and did I not any other disk to start. Is it possible to do a reinstal or to return to the factory settings? Im not to botherd if all the files are lost, but I would get the lap top operational again. Any help or advice welcome.

Hi paulthorogood,

It might be difficult to recover the operating system if there is no XP CD.

·         Windows XP was preinstalled on the system?

·         Do you know if there is a recovery partition?

Method 1: The following article should help you to recover the operating system.

Error message: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem.

Method 2: Since you do not have a disc, factory restore may be possible if there is a recovery partition or if there is no available recovery disk. You can contact the computer manufacturer for more information on this.

    Hi Alex,

    Devrtl.dll error indicates that the associated devrtl.dll files in C "\WINDOWS\ is missing or corrupt."

    It is clear that devrtl.dll is a dynamic link library (DLL) file for Windows systems. Devrtl.dll of fixing missing or repair corrupted is not so difficult.

    I suggest you to scan SFC. The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions. When the analysis is complete, the System File Checker tool indicates whether integrity violations were found. If integrity violations are detected, the System File Checker tool difficulty integrity violations. See the following article about how to proceed.

  • How to fix the error message: xerces.dll is missing

    You try to view a dvd, but when I go to play the dvd, I get an error message: xerces.dll is missing.  How can I solve this problem?

    Hello

    1. what operating system do you use?
    2 are there any changes or updates made on the computer?
    3. are you able to read the DVD by cancelling the error message?
    4 is the issue limited only when you try to play the DVD?

    Try to play the DVD on another computer and check.

    Xerces.dll error message can be caused by corruption in the Windows System.

    Check out the link to use the System File Checker (SFC) tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files in Windows 7.

    SFC/scannow is a very useful command that you can use in any version of Windows. When the SFC (System File Checker) command is used with the/scannow switch, the tool analyzes all the important files of Windows on your computer and replace if necessary.

    Missing and the corruption of the operating system (like many DLLs) files are probably the main cause of the major problems of Windows. In view of this, plus the fact that the SFC /scannnow is completely automatic and very easy to use, the tool should usually be your first troubleshooting step.

  • How can I get a copy of the file < windows > \system32\hal.dll.

    How can I get a copy of the file \system32\hal.dll.   ?

    There are 7 possibilities for the hal.dll file and the installation of XP takes the right one to match your hardware during the installation of XP.

    That's why replace a bit difficult because you need to know which of the 7 on the XP installation CD you need.  You can guess and try things and you might get lucky, or you can try them all.  That would take some time and probably be frustrating and you would need a CD bootable XP installation genuine to start the trials and errors.

    Replace the hal.dll file becomes even more difficult, because most of the people do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, even if they wanted to replace the hal.dll file.  If you really want just a copy, you can understand that one you need or just copy the one you already have.

    Unfortunately, the Microsoft Answers don't ask for enough information when a new question is asked to provide you with a good idea for your problem not specified.  For all that is your problem not specified, you will need to provide additional information.

    If you see the message that your hal.dll file is missing or damaged, the chances are that the file is not really missing or damaged... Windows XP just can not find the file.

    Fix hal.dll "missing or corrupted" message is usually not too demanding and has nothing to do with the replacement of the file.

    Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    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 CD/DVD drive work?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    What do not you think that you should see?

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

  • When I start my computer I get a message that says that the file < root windows > \system32\hal.dll. is damaged or missing.

    file HAL.dll

    When I start my computer I get a message that says that the file \system32\hal.dll. is damaged or missing. Please reinstall a copy of the file. I have the original Windows XP CD and I tried to re - install, but it will not go beyond the implementation of window. I can't sign in to windows. How can I reintall this file?

    It's extremely likely that you will need to replace the hal.dll and since there are seven files on the XP installation CD that will extend into hal.dll, which would you choose?  It depends on your hardware, but it is extremely likely that the problem (did I already say that?).  I've never had to replace a file hal.dll for this problem.

    The real problem is most likely that XP just can not find the file because of a file system corruption or a file c:\boot.ini afflicted.

    For this error, I would always be first boot from the XP Recovery Console and sometimes run a chkdsk-r that will fix things right to the top.

    If the chkdsk /r is clean and you have the same problem, and then re-create your c:\boot.ini file but rename the old one first so you don't build on top of those afflicted - this tidbit is absent from MS KB article that assumes too.

    You can do all this in the XP Recovery Console, but do go through these methods in this article and see how you go.

    For example, method 1 will not work if your system does not start.  You may have more luck with other "methods".

    If that doesn't work, then I suggest to provide a little more information about your system:

    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 have IDE or SATA disks?

    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?

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

  • I can't boot after installing the latest win xp updated system - missing or damaged/system32 hal.dll

    I get the message:

    Windows didn't start because what follows is missing or corrupted /system32/hal.dll

    I don't have a CD system - which can do? everything I read said to alter, copy, etc., but since I cannot start, I can't do it all.

    Help me please, thanks

    XP trying to tell you that it cannot find the file.  It is extremely likely that the hal.dll file is really missing or damaged (XP just cannot find it).

    You should not have the Windows XP installation CD for this problem.

    It is very unlikely that the manufacturer will be able to you provide a XP installation CD, but contact them if you wish.

    What would you do if YOU were the manufacturer?  Communicate with yourself?

    The instructions in this link to replace the hal.dll file are bad, bad, bad.  If you follow them, you will need to replace the hal.dll file, but it will not be the correct hal.dll file.  There are 7 possible hal.dlls on the Windows XP CD, and check out the generic hal.dll file won't be one you need unless you run a virtual machine.  Clearly, the technical support engineers have never actually solved this problem.

    Notice that the thread is not marked as 'response' by the original poster, but by a moderator of the Forum after a period of 5 to 10 days of inactivity where some MSE posted a link to a few articles in the KB (this is how things work here).

    You should start by making a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r first just to be sure of the file system NTFS is not damaged.  Then see if you can start after that (maybe it won't).

    THEN, you must use the Recovery Console to rebuild your boot.ini file.  I would like to rename the file c:\boot.ini first then you don't rebuild on top of the afflicted (this part is missing from the article).

    I can't understand why Microsoft support engineers seem unable to display instructions to make a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console.

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

    Here's how to make a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console:

    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 might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    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.

    If you still have the same problem (likely), then the value rebuild your file c:\boot.ini as article says here:

  • I got a virus and my computer starts is no longer the error message was < root windows > system32\hal.dll

    I downloaded a virus on my computer that wouldn't let my computer startup message wasn't system32\hal.dll Windows didn't start because the following file is missing or damaged.  I went into the recovery console and tried to repair the files what happened was now I can start only on my storage drive and it will stay running only for a few minutes and then the computer shuts down. At startup in the bios it is that one illustrious disc which is my small storage disk not the large drive box and not CD drive. A few days ago everything worked well today can't get to run long enough to fix it.

    Paul_652

    What a mess!

    Are you saying that the PC does not see the CD drive? Or that Windows could not see it?
    What is the brand and model of your PC? Are you able to get into the BIOS to see if the CD drive is listed? If so, you can then change order of device for the start-up of the PC then it stops on the CD instead of the hard drive.
    Links for bootable CD:
    Software to burn a bootable CD from a .iso file:
    The drive being SATA Seagate, I wonder if you need to make a setting in the BIOS.
    I also wonder what will happen if you remove the Seagate and equip the Maxtor, then start with the disks to run RC. I still think that the Maxtor drive has an MBR on it!
    I think that your first course of action is to see if this CD player works or not (independent of WIndows).

    In fact, there is something else you may need to do: it turns out that KB2607712 is replaced by the KB2616676 in Vista & Win7; Windows XP needs to have both installed [despite the mention you referred in your post on September 14, above] !!!

    => So if Update for Windows XP (KB2607712) is NOT listed in Add/Remove Programs, you will need to manually download/install a revised version [long story, involved - you don't want to know]:

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ACTIONS:

    1. open Internet Explorer to http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27244 & click on the button CONTINUE.

    2. after VALIDATION, download the installer for KB2607712 & save it to your desktop - NOT run again!

    3. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    4. double-click on the file that you saved in #2 above to install the update. Follow all the instructions (reboot required).

    5. check that the Update for Windows XP (KB2607712) is now listed in Add/Remove programs.
