    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.

    This is not guaranteed because the problem can be reduced to hard drive failure rather than just the corruption of the boot.ini file.

    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.

    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...

    [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.

    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.
