Unable to BOOT to XP XP Reporting: hal.dll corrupted :(

HAL stands for Hardware Abstraction Layer. The HAL is computer code in Windows XP that makes it possible for Windows XP to run on a variety of different computer types. The HAL manipulates the computer hardware directly and HAL.dll is the file that contains information regarding a "Standard PC", Non-ACPI computer.

The error occured because of a corrupt file.

To resolve this issue run recovery console and replace the corrupted file form the cd.

Reinstallation however would be a better option

Tell me if it worked

For hal.dll missing,
you can try to boot to recovery console and try the command:

bootcfg /rebuild

Chk the link for the screen instuctions:

Post reply once tried.

Thank You for your responce

Welcome dude!

Please post the result when tried.

When I got that error I booted with some boot cd and then used the extract command to extract hal.dl_ to the system32 folder for my Win XP install. This would however cause you to reinstall all the drivers of most of the hardware devices on your system I believe. Im pretty sure there are better ways to do it , but if none other work you could try this.

Sorry yaar... ...I am not tried your suggestions...Any way GREAT thanks for your responces...I used my GHOST to tension freee

sorryyyyyyy

so is your problem solved
