First You have To learn a Bit is What is hal.dll  ?

The hal.dll file has the implementation of the Windows ‘Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)’. HAL is loaded in the kernel address and serves the purpose of implementing Operating System in the hardware mode. Though drivers have their files in the .sys files but hal.dll file has some of the kernel related driver’s file. As .dll stands for Dynamic link Library and HAL is implemented in the hal.dll file so generally it can’t be called by any application.
Sometimes when starting Windows we encounter the problem:
“Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\system32\hal.dll.
Please re-install a copy of the above file.”



As this is a severe problem so we have deal with it with lots of care.

Causes:

There are several causes of this problem.

• The hal.dll file might be damaged or missing from the computer hard drive.
• The boot.ini file can be damaged and this is leading to the problem.
• The Windows is not installed in the path specified in the boot.ini file.
• If we are using multiple Operating Systems in the same machine then it can cause damage to the boot.ini file.
• The Ntoskrnl.exe file is missing or damaged.
•  Last but not the least our hard drive may be damaged.

Problems:

The one and only big problem is that our Windows can’t be started due to this problem.

Solutions:

As the reasons are many for this problem so there are many ways to fix it.

• Simply just restart the Windows; it can be restored right away.
• Check the boot priority in the BIOS settings. It might be directed to other location instead of primary hard drive. If so then we have change the boot priority to the hard drive.
• If this doesn’t fix the problem then we have to repair the boot.ini file. To do so we have to go through some steps:

• Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD drive and start the computer.
• Now we will see a message in the screen to repair the Window, so we have to press R button.
• Now select Windows Installation type and enter the administrator password when prompted.
• Type bootcfg /rebuild and press ENTER.
• Now we will see the following instruction:

Enter Load Identifier:
[Type Windows XP Professional or Windows XP Home Edition.]
Enter OS Load options:
[Leave it blank, and press ENTER].
After this we have to restart our computer and the boot.ini file problem can be fixed.

• If still the problem persists then we have to repair the hal.dll file. For this we have to insert the Windows XP CD-ROM in the CD drive and restart the computer. For repair we have to press R button and on the command prompt we have to type:

• If the problem is still there then we have to repair the Windows. For this we have to insert the Windows XP CD-ROM in the CD drive and restart the computer. For repair we have to press ENTER button first and then press F8 to accept the license. Now we have to press R for repairing existing Windows copy. Then following some easy steps we will be able to repair the Windows installation.
• If repair doesn’t fix the problem then we have to reinstall a fresh copy of Windows.
•  If the problem is still there then the hard disk may be damaged. We will have to check the hard disk.
