1.	Solve : Unable to boot - DOS message - help!!!!!?
Answer» [size=12][size=12]My Win XP will not boot. A DOS message appears that says the following: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or CORRUPT: \system 32\hal.dll. Please Re-install a copy of the above file. I cannot do anything from this SCREEN other than TURN off computer. I have researched your EXTENSIVE database and cannot find anything that someone has experienced. Please help me! Thanks so much for ANY ADVICE you all can offer [/size] [/size]Have a read: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_haldll_missing.htm http://pcsupport.about.com/od/pcrepair/a/missinghal_dll.htm http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?hal You will probably have to boot to safe mode (F8 when the computer starts) to reinstall this file, available at the third link. Let us know how you progress.
