Missing or corrupt HAL.dll

• 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.

  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, power buttons, 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?

  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:

  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.

  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.

  Help, please

  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:

• Satellite Pro A300 - System32\hal.dll file is corrupted or missing

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300, which says that the System32\hal.dll file is missing or corrupt.

  Is it possible to repair the file by a recovery by the laptop itself, or do I have to get a copy of Windows Vista to start over and do it this way?

  Hoping to get some possible answers to what to do.

  Thanks Christian

  Hello

  I read that some discussions in different forums and in most cases the new OS installation may solve this problem. The HAL.dll in place in C:\Windows\system32 then maybe you could solve this problem in copy this file from the Vista CD in this folder

  You could start the unit by using a Live CD (linux or windows lice CD called PartBe or WinPE)
  But the easiest solution would be to the recovery procedure

  Hello

  Try to start in safe mode.
  Restart your computer and start pressing F8 on your keyboard.
  Then an advanced boot menu should appear.

  Here, select SafeMode (if possible)

  If this does not work, you will need to use the recovery disk and must recover the new laptop

  But this means that your disk should be formatted and you will lose the data stored on the HARD drive

  In addition, if the file is actually missing, you can try to boot from a UNIX / Linux Live CD like Knoppix and add/replace the file manually with a file from another PC running THE SAME VERSION OF WINDOWS!

  If you are not good with computers, you should ignore this option because it could cause serious problems. If you still want to try, and there is a hal.dll file in \system32\ BACK IT UP. You have to put back in place.
