Change it like this and see if you can boot the computer with one of the boot options: [boot loader] timeout=15 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional 3" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional 2" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional 1" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect John

Guest Lil' Dave Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Re: hal.dll missing Just a heads up. If the master boot record provides slightly inaccurate information on the XP boot (system) partition, the file table seen may be inaccurate as a result. If the file table is a little off, it would explain not finding hal.dll and so forth. In such a case, the only fix is removing the XP boot (system) partition, and creating a new one which updates the master boot record in the process. Simple formatting of the existing partition will not fix such breakage. If you're using a 3rd party boot manager, you may need to reinstall it afterwards. If the region on the hard disk where the master boot record resides is flaky, you may need to zero write and allow such software to map out such areas. Similar occurs with where the XP boot (system) partition resides as well. -- Dave "DD" <DD@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:F1647F9F-C200-4E1B-BEF6-AC1DF57EF581@microsoft.com... > for Unmounteable_volume i have followed MS site recommendation running > chkdsk /r and fixboot but the blue screen still appeared. > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297185 > > "John John (MVP)" wrote: > >> What blue screen? >> >> John >> >> DD wrote: >> >> > I tried , options 1 & 3 still got same errors but option 2, i see the >> > windows >> > xp logo after that the blue screen appeared. >> > >> > >> > "John John (MVP)" wrote: >> > >> > >> >>DD wrote: >> >> >> >> >> >>>I resintalled the windows xp professionaland getting the"windows could >> >>>not >> >>>start because the following file missing or corrupt : >> >>>windows_root\system32\ hal.dll , pls re-install a copy of the above >> >>>file >> >>> >> >>>I followed MS tech guide by using the bootcfg /rebuild to rebulit the >> >>>boot.ini >> >>>file and >> >>>other suggestion site to delete the boot.ini and rebuild, but still >> >>>getting >> >>>the same error message >> >>> >> >>>I have one hardisk with 3 partitions and running two different OS.XP >> >>>and >> >>>Macintosh >> >>>the xp is in cc;\partition >> >>>This is my boot.ini config >> >>> >> >>>[boot loader] >> >>>timeout=1 >> >>>default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS >> >>>[operating systems] >> >>>multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP " >> >>>/fastdetect >> >>>multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP >> >>>Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect >> >>> >> >>>Can someone help, I only have this notebook and all my work depands on >> >>>it >> >>>and have keep trying to solve this problem for the pass few days. >> >> >> >>Change it like this and see if you can boot the computer with one of >> >>the >> >>boot options: >> >> >> >>[boot loader] >> >>timeout=15 >> >>default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS >> >>[operating systems] >> >>multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP >> >>Professional 3" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect >> >>multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP >> >>Professional 2" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect >> >>multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP >> >>Professional 1" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect >> >> >> >>John >> >> >>

Guest John John (MVP) Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Re: hal.dll missing No, I'm afraid not. JS gave you several links with possible fixes and you said that you tried all of those suggested fixes so I don't have anything new to add. If the hal.dll is indeed corrupt or missing you can look for it on your hard drive in the C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 folder and copy it to the C:\WINDOWS\System32 folder. That failing you can extract it from the XP cd and place it in the System32 folder but unless the hal is the same version as the missing or corrupt one I don't expect this to work, try and copy a hal.dll from another XP computer that has the same Service Pack level as yours. You could also try to replace the Ntoskrnl.exe file in the System32 folder. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314477 John DD wrote: > hI, > > Do you have any othere suggestion where I can try on. > > > "John John (MVP)" wrote: > > >>Being that all of this started while you were trying to reinstall >>Windows and in view of the fact that at first the installation couldn't >>be found then I would have to think that critical files were not >>properly installed.

Guest John John (MVP) Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Re: hal.dll missing By the way, if your main concern is that you have important files that you want to save then there are relatively easy ways to salvage your files. After you salvage your important files you can format the disk and install Windows to a nice clean state. John John John (MVP) wrote: > No, I'm afraid not.

Guest gdmellott Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 RE: hal.dll missing Hi, My Experiance with this message so far, strongly suggests that when Windows' (XP Pro anyway) is trying to boot it is not finding the Windows directory. In my case, all I did to create the problem was temporarily remove the RAID card. [it could be any hardware that is drive letter ordered before and including the OS's drive]. The Intel motherboard BIOS then automatically reordered the drives when I started it up. Whe the card was reinstalled the drive letter was now different, so it couldn't find Windows' directory. All I needed to do was pull the power for the drive that was now before it and reboot. The BIOS would have re-ordered it for me. But not me, I couldn't figure it out before I decided that I was going to have to reinstall Windows. That may have not been such a bad thing, I have all my program CDs, etc., I need. What I didn't get warned clearly about was I was going to loose all my emails. Since I reinstalled into a different directory and used a slightly different user name, I was able to save the "My Documents" directory. I'm still trying to round up my old emails though. I've played with Linux machines and they all ended up locked up when they ran out of hard drive space. Can't even get the console to move or delete files. Such luck, I've almost come to believe that no OS really want to take care of my data. Sincerely, Gregory D.
