I tried to reinstall windows xp on my computer and I got a message < root windows > \systems32\hal.dll. I tried to use a disc of windows xp cd and nothing works for me. my pc came with windows pre-installed on it btw. can someone help me fix it

I tried the suggestion on the error message and nothing works

Hi Honee,

Please, try the following.

You must boot your PC with the XP cd-rom Setup disk, if you have
one.

Then, when you get to the screen with the following option appears:

To repair a Windows XP installation using
Recovery Console, press R.

Then press [R] to launch the "Recovery Console".

When confronted by a prompt asking for the administrator password - just
Press [ENTER]

After his start in RC - type the following command:

Expand x:\i386\hal.dl_ c:\windows\system32\hal.dll

(where [x] is the letter of your cd drive)

* NB If SP3 is installed - then the command that you type must be:

Copy c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386\hal.dll c:\windows\system32

... instead, because the files are of two different levels of review
(versions).

Then restart.

I hope this helps!

  • I am trying to reinstall Windows Vista from my drive hard can u help me__

    I need some help tryin to reinstall windows vista from my hard drive, I went on the recovery program who was here and burned a cd, but none of the programs on my computer it open so I need to know how to reinstall it from my disk hard please

    You normally have to boot from the recovery disc:

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to perform a recovery of the recovery hard disk Partition.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    For any questions/problems about the recovery process, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the computer.

    It is their software/recovery process, not Microsoft.

    See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

    Contact Sony and ask them if they can help you. But realize that since XP is now essentially obsolete, there is a good chance that they are unable to help you. You will need to find a used copy, you can buy.

  • There, can someone help me fix an ops sp3 Windows XP old, broken down (but still running). sys

    I'm very, very ugly, slow typist. I need to find somewhere I can talk in person on fixing xp sp3 op sys malfunction. Windows updates fail to install, sys. restoration doesn't seem to work, restored backup a few sys.files double on drive c, slowing comp.down. Condition appears to have caused the error in the security program, I had to uninstall and reinstall the program, etc. perhaps?  I have to re - install windows xp but I don't know how. Please... There will always be this typing I do . I could buy a new computer, but I got used to my old xp - a bit like an old car. I repaired him before and she has functioned well for a long time, but now I'm stuck. If I could fix it itself toward the top without spending a fortune, I'd rather. I would really like to find some PERSON who speak who is knowledgeable enough to help me find the right help or information to do the job. Or who-knows - what was that last line in Casablanca? Thank you, hope to talk to you soon.

    3 initial suggestions. 1, practice with typing you will get better 2, you could get a microphone and a program that automatically what you say tape and 3. You can also get a microphone to talk to someone to voice chat (for example Skype) rather than in person to help you solve the problem.

  • I have recived portable computer of the Government with windows pre installed 7professional but now I want to format and reinstal it I require the startup disk and product key (my OS is authentic)

    I have recived portable computer of the Government with windows pre installed 7professional but now I want to format and reinstal it I require the startup disk and product key (my OS is authentic)

    If it's a copy of volume license installed, you will need to contact your employer to find the product key and get the installation files.

    If it is preinstalled at the factory with Windows 7 Professional, then use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    Unfortunately, Halo 2 does support Windows Vista and more.  Windows XP is not supported.  There may be 3 party hacks that can make it work, but they are not taken in charge and potentially dangerous.
