Guest conny Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 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? - Thee Chicago Wolf

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!
