hal.dll-problem continues

[Guest conny]

Ok, so I´ve tried "bootcfg /rebuild", which results in a Fail, a message

telling me that it´s not possible to search for windows installations and

that Bootcfg can´t search the harddrive correctly. So i do chkdsk, and

everything´s apparently fine. I´ve also tried the "expand

d:\i386...hal.dll"-command, which results in a "can´t find file or cataloge".

What to do?

Are you actually able to get to the Windows desktop or is this being

done with the recovery console?

Make sure the CD-ROM drive letter is correct D:\ Not E:\ or something else!

expand D:\i386\hal.dl_ C:\Windows\System32 (where d: is the drive letter of

your CD drive)

Note: a space between D:\i386\hal.dl_ and C:\Windows\System32

 

Or this : expand D:\i386\hal.dll C:\Windows\System32

Make sure the First Boot device in the BIOS is your CD-ROM then your Hard

drive.

You looks like having a space in the Boot loader been written somehow to

your Boot.ini!
