• 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.

  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...

• 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:

  system32\hal.dll

  Please reinstall a copy of the above file

  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).

  A3. If you start another thread on the computer, I have posted a reply to this & you asked to publish a follow-up replies to your original thread. [?]

  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.

  PS: If you have NO Office or Silverlight or any installed Windows Live Essentials application, I can tell you how to start your Windows XP computer & full load more quickly.

• Satellite Pro 6100 - invalid boot.ini file message at boot

  Hello

  Don't know where to start.
  I want to just run Office 2003 from my Satellite Pro. Had problems with the HDD so I decided to format using the recovery discs.

  Now, when I start the machine initially I get the following message: * invalid boot.ini file. Starting from c:\windows.*
  After a minute or so, the following message appears. * missing or corrupted system32.hal.dll file *.

  Any ideas how to fix this please?

  Hello

  Looks like the laptop cannot start the Windows operating system and a few files damaged or are missing.
  In your case, I would try to reinstall new OS.
  Format the whole HARD drive and try again.

  If the second installation does not help, then a HARD drive should be checked may be that you need a replacement.

• Satellite Pro A300 - 1 GR - R08985EF.tag file in the partition of E:\

  Hello!

  I have Tosshiba Satellite Pro A300 - GR 1 and recently noticed a file named R08985EF.tag in E:\.
  The content of the file is "R08985EF" and he dated 12.7.2008 - the same date as the HDD Recovery folder and all its contents and has very similar modified-time.

  The file is not read-only and has no protection.
  What is it and can I remove it without negative consequences?

  Any suggestion will be highly appreciated!

  I do not recommend to delete this file because this file could belong to the HDD recovery procedure and if you remove then you'd be unable to UN the HDD recovery procedure

• 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:

  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, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a real installation CD bootable XP which is the same Service Pack as your installed Service Pack? (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

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

  In Windows Vista & 7:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/errorh/a/HAL-dll-missing-Windows-7-Vista.htm

  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.

  Let us know if it works.

• 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:
