Try restarting your computer; the system may recover automatically. However, it is not always possible to reboot in the usual way, since the error often prevents the system from booting normally at all. In this case, do a forced reboot of the OS.

If you have an installation disk, you can use it to fix this error with the Startup Repair program. This tool automatically solves the most common problems that arise, including those that occur when the system boots. So it likely will help you with a missing or corrupted hal.dll file.

As in the previous method, boot from the installation disk and press any key. In the Options screen, press the R key to open the recovery console. Next, enter the administrator password and, after pressing Enter, you will be taken to the command line.

If you find that some files have been deleted on your computer due to this error, or even that your whole partition is missing, you can use DiskInternals Partition Recovery to recover them. The program is both simple to understand and powerful, as it searches each partition of the disk. Even a beginner will not find it difficult to understand, since there is a built-in Recovery Wizard that will assist you. You can easily recover audio files, photos, videos, documents, etc. You can recover up to 1 PB of files; it's almost infinite!

Using DiskInternals Partition Recovery is quite simple: the basic parameters for searching for files are set; then a detailed scan takes place; then a list of files that can be restored appears, which happens automatically after preview. So there is no reason to doubt: download the application and get your data back!

I have a domain controller (1 of 3) which must have a role removed before retiring. The drive crashed and server had to be rebuilt and manually restored with advanced team assistance. The C: restoration went well but the system state w/AD resulted in a hal.dll missing error and no boot. The server is Win2K8 Standard. The BE version is 2012 but newer than the final version of the server tape. The repaired / restored server shows a W2K8 svr installation on the drive/partition. I can browse the drives and directories from the repair command prompt. The curious items are 1) the OS drive letters flipped - OS is now D: and the recovery drive is C: and 2) in most directories almost every file has a duplicate which has additions to the extensions. I.E.the hal.dll file has below it a file named "hal.dll.USE1070C". I can run DISKPART to re-letter the volumes. I can run BCDEDIT to see details. I ran bootrec.exe to add the OS. I ran bootrec /fixboot and now have a missing bootmgr. I seek ideas before attempting to run bootrec /fixmbr as this may result in another hardware rebuild and tape restoration. A solution would be greatly appreciated as this is taking serious time away from other work. thnx

Errors related to hal.dll can arise for a few different different reasons. For instance, a faulty application, hal.dll has been deleted or misplaced, corrupted by malicious software present on your PC or a damaged Windows registry.

In the vast majority of cases, the solution is to properly reinstall hal.dll on your PC, to the Windows system folder. Alternatively, some programs, notably PC games, require that the DLL file is placed in the game/application installation folder.

S O L V E D !!!!compaq mini 110 netbook (110c-1040DX)had the same problem, tried EVERYONE's suggestions, (expanding hal.dll and ntoskrnl.exe from the install disk) (rebuilding bootcfg) all sorts of stuff, nothing worked. SOOOO i finally took matters into my own hands, and fixed it. it had nothing to do with hal.dll or any other files. here's what i did :1. get to command prompt, through recovery console or bootdisk, whatever's clever.2. type in " C: " then "EDIT BOOT.INI " i changed the settings under [boot loader] AND [operating systems] to read as follows: - [boot loader] - timeout=30 - default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS - [operating systems] - multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XPProfessional " /noexecute=optin /fastdetectnote that wordwrap screwed up that last line, but you get the idea. FIXED! i couldn't believe it. i thought i was screwed i spent about 4 hours trying to get the little bastard to boot, and when i edited my c:boot.ini to look like above, it then booted up from the internal HD(i know, its not a HD, its flash memory but same diff to me) LIKE BUTTA ! i was very impressed with myself, as i could not find anyone in any forum who could help me out. so try that, friends, let me know if you got results.

I found a fix to the missing hal.dll that caused me to reinstall several systems. This time I managed to start the computer without a complete reinstall. All you need is a Windows XP Home or Pro cd. It can be sp1 or sp2. Yes a service pack 1 cd will fix a service pack 2 "existing" installation the way we are going to do it here. I can\'t say if a Home Edition cd would work with a Pro installation or vice versa. I haven\'t tried that yet. Anyway you will also need a boot disk. First step would be boot from the Windows XP cd (sp1 or sp2) and follow throught the steps untill you are asked what you want to do - "Install Windows" or "Fix Windows using the Recovery console?" Choose to install windows again. Follow instruction and when you get to the part that asks "what partition do you want to install it on" select the same partition you installed your previous Windows installation on. The basic idea here is you will be installing 2 operating sytems on the same computer and on the same partition. When you do - it will detect the previous installation and ask you how you prefer to install it. You'll have 2 choices and they are to install the new files to the existing "windows" folder (which will cause you to loose everything) or you can create another folder to install the fresh copy of windows. Don't worry we are not going to actually install windows we are just going to tell the computer we are and then we'll back out of doing it. As for now don't install it to windows but change the name to "windows2". Then confirm the procedure!! The cd will start going through the process of loading the drivers again for a full install and when it comes to the point that it says something like - "Windows has finished performing maintenance on you hard drive" then it will try to restart. Remove the cd and on restart enter the bios and disable the cdrom as a boot option. Exit bios and restart. The computer should start but if it doesn't put the boot disk back in and then it should start. After it starts you should not have to use the floppy to boot any more. Hal.dll has messed with me one to many times!!!!!! Good Luck - Don Ho
