Missing or corrupt files

I have a Toshiba Satellite, when I turn on it seems fine, but when it goes to start Windows XP Home Edition the screen turns white and after about 5 minutes, it displays ' Windows didn't start because the following file is missing or damaged: '\system32\hal.dll "Please reinstall a copy of the above file.» Where can I get a copy of this file? and how do I install it if the computer does not go beyond the initial splash screen?

  • system32\DRIVERS\pci.sys missing or corrupt file error but windows xp is already preloaded on computer when purchased

    missing or corrupt file error system32\DRIVERS\pci.sys keeps appearing. I had a problem with google chrome and then stop everything. This error appeared. It tells me to use the cr rom boot but xp was already loaded on the sony vaio that we bought a few years ago. I don't know what to do next because I don't want to lose the pictures and music, we have on the hard drive. Any help would be appreciated

    If your data is not backed up, then at some point that the data will be lost.

    Your Sony are delivered with a hidden restore partition or recovery disks, but I do not think that the Sony recovery allows to repair an installation of win, only pure install.

    You must remove the drive and it slave on another PC in order to retrieve the data, or take it to a decent repair shop for them to do it for you

  • My Dell Precision 370 computer not start Windows XP, due to A MISSING or CORRUPT FILE.

    The file that is missing, is a Windows root folder called > System32\hal.dll

    Since this computer Dell was bought for our children used to use, I don't have any Windows XP disk to install the missing file of root or reinstall Windows XP software.

    So, how can I get this missing windows xp root file, in order to exploit the windows xp software?

    I tried to re - start the dell computer, but nothing works!

    If someone could help me, I would appreciate it a lot.

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

    It is extremely likely that XP can't find it either because the file system is afflicted or XP is told to find the file in the right place.

    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?

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

    We should first check the inetegiry of your file system and then see what then to do.

    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

    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.

  • Files missing or corrupt error message

    Pavilion g4 with Windows 7

    Try to open Microsoft Office library files, I get the following error message: "this program is unable to run because of missing or corrupted files.  Contact the manufacturer of your computer. "Also, seen in the library, Microsoft Office files do not display their characteristic icons (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.).  All cultures view the Red page, icon.  However, when I open the files of their respective programs, i.e. all first open MS Word and then open one of the files affected by the program, they open without difficulty. I would be grateful for views on the resolution of this problem.

    By 'Library' you mean say Windows Explorer instead, or you want to say in the Documents folder in the library section?

    What version of Microsoft Office is installed?

    Icons expected loss means that files have lost the link with the program which aims to open. It is quite easy to repair.

  • How can I check and delete the corrupted files?

    I was told that my laptop performance could be carried out by missing or corrupt files. I can't find the system check in the Panel, and it is not found when I try to kick it and run. I don't have the original recovery or installation disk disk.

    According to the page I've linked in the other post: Hard Drive16 GB (Solid State Drive Flash Module).  Solid State Drive SSD =

    You can always do another:

    Check and repair corrupt files is to open cmd in the start menu, then right click "Run as Administrator".  Then type chkdsk c: / r

    • If you get an error "Chkdsk cannot run", type in, ChkDsk runs on your next Windows startup

    Who will eventually fix any corrupt system files, but not others.  You suspect corruption in the other or all of the files, then probably the SSD is having problems.  That can be fixed with conventional methods, as far as I KNOW.  Maybe time to replace it with a new SSD or hard drive classic, if possible.  Don't know how HP implimented the SSD in the mini.

    Since there is no DVD/CD drive integrated into the unit, get an external hard drive or USB key and backs up all data that you consider important before things get worse.  You can buy 16 GB flash drives or bigger, so that would be my suggestion.  Just copy everything on a flashdrive before anything else is done.

    Hi Binta,

    The repair option is available from the recovery console, which is located on the installation of Microsoft XP CD. However, I think your laptop was an OEM installation in which case you should have the Toshiba Recovery CD instead. They lack the recovery console and it would therefore be necessary to restore the whole system of Toshiba drives.

    This will actually format your HARD drive and then re-install the system as it was during the first delivery the laptop. Unfortunately, this will replace any of your data unless you have it in another partition on your drive HARD or on some other backup media.

    The recovery CD will allow your to re - install the entire system or partition the HARD drive first, so that you can keep your data separate from the operating system.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing the 'C' key when starting the laptop. After the restart you will need to re - install any additional software that you might have, and you will also need to download updates that are available on the website of Microsift update.

    Hello

    What operating system is currently installed?

    If Windows doesn't start over there is not much you can do and I recommend to reinstall Windows from the Toshiba recovery disc. Such a new and clean facility can help power Windows and the new installed Windows system will work also a bit faster and more stable if it s advisable to reinstall at any time (1-2 years).

    So take the Toshiba Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen to reinstall Windows.
