• 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 you see you don't think you need to see?

  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?

• How can I recover hal/dll library - computer restart without warning

  My computer kept restarting with warning message. Detectors of viruses and malicious software nothing - nothing did fall within the firewall either.  When we tried to recover to an earlier point (it started when Microsoft had us install malicious programs) the hal.dll file had been corrupted or deleted.  This message came when we tried a system restore.  We do not have a disc XP from Microsoft.

• error Hal.dll corrupt on startup

  Hello.

  I recently had a bad crisis of spywere problems. After Norton anti-spywere tryign, I have the following problem;

  On startup, I get the toshibas start screen, then the error message:

  Windows cannot find the file: hal.dll
  It may be damaged. Please re - install file

  I have the solution to this (on the support site microsoft technical) but (a R 10-101) laptop has no floppy drive, and I have no installation disc, so I can't get a recovery console to fix things.

  Is it possible to get an installation disk without having to buy another copy of windows, or is it possible to get a CDrom as oppose to a boot disk?

  Hello

  HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) is a layer of operating system programming that allows the operating system to work with a hardware device.
  The missing or not found error message hal.dll, \windows\system32\hal.dll or \winnt\system32\hal.dll may be experienced on a Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows XP system when the boot.ini file is damaged, or when a user attempts to dual boot a computer.

  The best way to solve the problem is to recover the OS because the boot.ini file will be new created.

  But you can also see these sites how to solve the problem.
  http://www.kellys-Korner-XP.com/xp_h.htm
  http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000490.htm

  Also on this site you can find a description how to build a clean bootable Windows CD-Rom.

• Windows XP does not start because < root Windows > \system32\hal.dll file is corrupted

  I get the following error message when starting my windows XP Home PC. : Windows didn't start because the following file is missing or damaged

  \System32\hal.dll. Please reinstall a copy of the file. How do I do that?

  This could be the result of a corrupt / missing hal.dll file or boot.ini file. You have your windows disc? If so, follow the instructions below. If you do not have your windows disk click HERE to create a disc of windows recovery console.

  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.
  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:

  Fortunately, not all is lost here for you. You have several options. You will need to create a CD of the utility. (1), you can boot from a usb flash drive and run utility Cd or 2) you can buy a removable usb device cd rom and there. It's the best option, but instructions differ radically, so I need to know which is your choice of boot options to help you. You won't have a windows disk to perform the procedure.

• 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.

• 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:

• Missing or corrupt hal.dll file. Computer will not start in XP

  All of a sudden my computer does not open in XP.  Says it has a corrupt or missing hal.dll file I don't ' have a Windows XP CD.  What I can to correct without losing what is on the computer?  Must have been an update last night, because it was working fine before.

  The usual problem with this message is not the hal.dll file is missing or corrupted - it usually just means that XP cannot find it to be abandoned because the file system has somehow got corrupted something like a power interruption, restart or abnormal termination... or your c:\boot.ini file is somehow corrupted (or both!).

  You will have to start on something to fix.

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

  Then, you perform a chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery first Console and report back how it works (which may be all you need to do):

  Here's how:

  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/

  When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

  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.

• OS does not start and screen with the error (root) system32\hal.dll windows is damaged or missing black

  I was trying to stop some HP programs to start when I start my desktop computer. I did the following: start > run > msconfig.  Click on startup and unchecked HP four applications. Restarted my desktop computer and immediately had a black screen with the following message:

  The window could not start because the following file is missing or damaged:

  I can't do anything in Safe Mode or one of the other options. Cannot re - install Windows XP Home Edition because Windows or Internet Explorer 8 will not run. Only the black screen and the message mentioned above.

  I use a desktop Dell Dimension 8400 computer.

  [1] Just finished everything on your step 10. I went with the Microsoft Security Essentials.

  [2] I still need to download site driver Dell trying to correct this "floppy seek failure pilot 1,2 and 3 not found: ATX, SATA 1, 2 and 3' problem"

  [3] I just got e-mail from Microscoft response that the thread that I created has been deleted, so I answer to you of a past replica.

  Wanted [4] Thank you for your time and patience to help me. Is there something else to do for me, you can recommend?

  A1. Wise move IMHO. The computer seems "snappier" now?

  A2. I can't imagine that another owner of a Dimension 8400 (or 4800?) has not encountered this problem before. Discover (i.e., search) the Dell office equipment forum: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514.aspx. If necessary, start your own new thread (registration required).

  A4. Welcome & thank you for your comments.

  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.
