Solve : How do i fix my computer?? |
|
Answer» I am a sort of an advanced amataur with computers so i need a litlle help. I woke up one morning and there was a message, which i dont remember. It told me to reboot and when i did it began to say, "A problem with the hard drive has been detected. Consult the Troubleshooting sections of you user's manual. Press the Enter key to continue." When i press enter, however, it just goes to a BLANK screen with only a _ symbol and i can do nothing with it. Windows will not boot. I have tried to reboot the entire coputer and that has failed along with numerous other attempts to fix the problem. My question is, how can i fix my computer so that i may use it again? P.S at one point in time it stated that the error was something along this line, but i am not positve because i am trying to remember off the top of my head. "windows32/systemroot/____.dll... i dont remember what was in the blank spot. PLEASE HELP! Quote I have tried to reboot the entire coputer and that has failed along with numerous other attempts to fix the problem.What does this mean? What exactly did you try to do? What happened before this started?i tried to do a system reboot off of the OS disk, which failed, and i tried to just install a linux and that failed too, along with trying to repair with OS and Drivers disksIs your BIOS set to boot from CD first?i assume you mean Boot Device PRIORITY, then yes it says that the 1st priority is [ATAPI CD ROM] oh and i am almost positive now that it is a hal.dll problemAre you trying a complete format and REINSTALL?Quote from: itzjuzmeh on June 03, 2007, 12:28:09 PM oh and i am almost positive now that it is a hal.dll problem That's the symptom, not the problem. The "h" in "hal" stands for "hardware"... as in failed hard disk. ... well when i tried to boot once it gave me the "windows32/systemroot/hal.dll" error messageQuote from: itzjuzmeh on June 03, 2007, 01:20:53 PM ... well when i tried to boot once it gave me the "windows32/systemroot/hal.dll" error message Sometimes this is because the hard drive is failing. Quote from: street1 on June 03, 2007, 12:40:39 PM Are you trying a complete format and reinstall? no just trying to get it to work but i tried that and the same error came upHave you download the hard disk test and setup software from your hard drive manufacturer?-->LookHere i posted the same question on yahoo and someone gave me this message "probably windows32/systemroot/hal.dll It is part of the boot-up process. If you are using XP go to this link and download the XP boot disc and copy it a cd/disc then set your BIOS to boot from that source this should rectify any boot up errors. http://www.orbitfiles.com/download/id1542211217" what do you think about that? do you think it would work... seeing as this place is a little more RELIABLE than yahooQuote from: street1 on June 03, 2007, 01:25:21 PM Have you download the hard disk test and setup software to my KNOWLEDGE, no |
