• Computer HP laptop windows didn't load because the HAL is missing or corrupt

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6605us

  Windows Vista

  Error message I get is:

  File: \Windows\System32\hal.dll

  Status: 0xc000000f

  Info: Windows could not load because the HAL is missing or corrupt

  The changes that I do is I did a clean install of Linux deleting all partitions including the HP recovery partition.

  Now that I have to go back to Windows, I used the recovery disks that I did when I bought the laptop. It took about 24 hours to completely install, then I got this error message when you restart.

  Help, please

  Best thing to do is to nuke the drive,then reinstall Vista again.

  I know it's a long process, but you should get back to run.

  Linux makes strange recovery partitions does not understand and they are deleted correctly, boot and nuke will take care of it.

  I basically have to hit enter then press R? Thank you

  1. Press Enter to start the configuration of Windows.

     do not choose "to repair an installation of Windows XP using the Recovery Console, press on R", (do not want to load the Recovery Console). I repeat, do not choose "to repair an installation of Windows XP using the Recovery Console, press on R.

  2. Accept the license agreement and Windows will search for existing installations of Windows.
  3. Select the XP installation you want to repair in the list, press Rto start the repair. If the repair is not one of the options, END of installation

• Windows didn't start because the following file is missing or corrupt: < root windows > \System32|hal.dll, please reinstall a copy of the above file.

   \systrem32\hal.dll

  What can I do with this message:

  Windows didn't start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \System32|hal.dll, please reinstall a copy of the above file.

  Thank you

  In Windows XP:

  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.

• Satellite M30: Windows cannot start because a file is missing

  You can repair from ordinary cd and use "r" for repair.

  How to use recovery cd for this... It does not work.

  Hello

  It's not easy to use the repair mode because the recovery image file CD. The other way is that you try to start the operating system is the safe mode and look if the lack of files exist in the C:\I386 folder. If not, well I think that the only way is to recover the system with the recovery CD.

  Good bye

• Windows didn't start because the following file is missing or corrupted \windows\system32\config\system

  Windows windows xp could not start because the following file is missing or damaged:
  \windows\system32\config\system
  You can accept it corresponds to repair this file by starting windows setup using the original Setup CD
  Select 'r' in the first screen to start repair

  I don't have original cd so I downloaded from the internet.  Only 1 cd when the instructions said it would be 6. that didn't work

  tillieme,
  You will need a valid XP disc to run the repair.  It is possible that the PC manufacturer develop a recovery hard disk partition.  You should check with them to see if it's an option.  Also, some manufacturers will provide filtering alternative for a small fee.

  Never, never, never start with KB307545 with this problem.

  It's the first KB Microsoft article to come into a Bing search engine, but that doesn't make it not right (Ministry of Education: be careful - if you need me to teach you how to reproduce this problem, so you can learn how to solve this problem without a Windows XP CD instead of just use Bing and post the first article that comes up I'll be happy to do.)

  Now that you have tried to do a repair installation, who knows what condition things are in and we know not to take on your system, but I would like to start here:

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes the plug pulling, buttons power and removing the battery).

  These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

  If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

  There is zero logic to begin to try to begin to try to modify or copy files to a hard drive that has a corrupted file system, so this must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk on your hard drives may solve your problem completely.

  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 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:

  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.

• HP mini 110-1129nr with windows xp home edition, following the file is missing or corrupt \windows\system32\config\system model doesn't have a cd/dvd drive. Help, please!

  HP mini 110-1129nr with windows xp home edition, on said boot computer could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt \windows\system32\config\system computer has no cd/dvd drive. Computer does not load in safe mode, I ran disk hard main test self test it says completion test: failure, check the status: 7 (filled with the read element of the test failed). Help.

  You need an external DVD drive to get the repair will.

  Also the device you own does not seem to have built in the recovery partition. I'm not sure about later versions of this machine, however, it is best to check with HP.

  The problem is that there is a corruption of the registry on your OS or the system could not find where the registry files are due to system files or boot corrupted file.

  A repair can be made with an external DVD, the worst case, is that if the repair doesn't work you reinstall Windows.
