Root Windows satellite 5200 701 system32/hal.dll missing

My Toshiba s5200 701 crashed today.

Windows displays this error:

+ windows didn't start because the following file is missing or corrupt: windows root system32 / hal.dll +.
+ Please re install. +

First of all, this Toshiba is a European model and I live in the USA.
Second, the model is old.
Third, I don't have the XP CD reinstal the OS.

I don't know if it's worth buying a new professional XP for this computer.

All ideas, suggestions. Please notify.

Jose

Hello

I read on issues such as
You need to reinstall the OS, but it would also be possible that this error is related to the defective HARD and/or RAM disk.
Many uses had this error again after the new installation of the OS and in individual cases the RAM or the HARD drive has been affected as well.

What to say; It s your decision what you want to do... I recommend reinstall Win XP once more to verify if this question relates only to lack hal.dll in the system32 folder.
However the Win XP license is cheap, because Win 7 is on the market and no one wants to use 'old' OS which will be more in the coming years...

  • 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

    Next time please put your question in the body of the message and not the subject line. The way you have done, it is difficult to help you.

    It looks like you have a hardware failure. If you want to help yourself, start with the hard drive, then the RAM.

If you can not do the test yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad).

    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.

  • Missing or damaged"< root windows > \system32\hal.dll.

    I get the message "Windows cannot start because the following file is missing or corrupt" \system32\hal.dll. It is a Dell computer running windows XP that came preloaded on the Dell. I've been running this computer for years before, without this problem. Can anyone help?

    If the computer is not currently bootable,

    Then, you will need to borrow an xp installation cd to start the computer and run some commands through the function of the CD recovery console.

    Another option, to remove the hard drive and install it as a slave on a functional computer disk.   then use this functional computer and the o.s. to fix the problem on this slave drive.

    Another option is to see if dell experts have a different methodology to fix the error.

    There is a community forum to dell.com dell, where you can ask this question.

    in all cases, the question you have is not uncommon and has been requested and answered thousands of times.

    WINDOWS COULD NOT FIND START BECAUSE THE FILE IS MISSING OR DAMAGED
    WINDOWS ROOT>\SYSTEM32\hal.dll

    This message is rather misleading.  It happens because the boot.ini file that tells where to look for 'Windows' boot is damaged, so it is looking for the files in the right place - hal.dll is be the first person he's looking for. Set the BIOS to boot CD before the hard drive.  Start the XP CD and at the installation site, take the immediate R for repair.  Assume that any requested password is empty.

    At the command prompt, type:

    H r s C:\boot.ini attrib [press Enter]
    DEL C:\boot.ini [press Enter] [to remove the bad]
    BootCfg /Rebuild [press Enter] [to search an installations of Windows, and make a new one]

    Remove the XP CD and hopefully restart Windows. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • 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:
      Leave this field blank, and then press ENTER.

      After completing the previous steps, restart the computer, and then select the first item in the start menu. This should allow Windows XP to start normally.

      After Windows XP is successfully loaded, the Boot.ini file can be modified to remove the incorrect entry.
