How to fix hal.dll error i dont able to get recovery console in my cd

Hi! Welcome to www.fixya.com.
You need to get an Windows Operating system XP
Option 1:
Boot from your CD and follow the directions to start Recovery Console. Then:
Attrib -H -R -S C:\Boot.ini DEL C:\Boot.ini BootCfg /Rebuild Fixboot
Option 2:
Boot from your CD and follow the directions below to start Recovery Console.
Insert the Setup compact disc (CD) and restart the computer. If prompted, select any options required to boot from the CD. When the text-based part of Setup begins, follow the prompts; choose the repair or recover option by pressing R.
If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system, choose the installation that you need to access from the Recovery Console. When prompted, type the Administrator password. (if you didn't create one try pressing enter).
At the system prompt, type Recovery Console commands; type help for a list of commands, or help commandname for help on a specific command.
Most likely you will need to expand the file from the CD. The command would be expand d:\i386\hal.dl_ c:\windows\system32\hal.dll. Substitute d: for the drive letter of your CD. Once you have expanded the file type "exit" to exit the Recovery Console and restart the computer.
TIP: Recovering Windows XP using the Recovery Console
Hope this resolution fix the problem on your computer. Thanks for contacting Fixya. Bye for now.

You did not mention what is the manufacturer and what is the operating system you have but you can try following:

hal.dll is the file which protects your hardware devices to access the memory directly. HAL ( Harware Abstraction Layer).

To repair hal.dll we would require the recovery discs else you can try recovery console in your computer

1. press the power button and keep tapping on F 11 for HP computer and ctrl+F11 for Dell computer
2. check if you get a Recovery Manager
3. you can perform a recovery from here

Windows 2000 and XP have a recovery console. You manually restore the hall.dll. Here is the exact procedure:
1. Insert the Windows CD and start the computer
2. When the Welcome to Setup screen appears, press R
3. Type a number corresponding to the Windows installation you wish to repair (usually 1) and press Enter
4. When prompted, type the administrator password and press Enter.
5. Enter the following (assuming the you O.S. is installed on partition C:):
ATTRIB -H -R -S C:\BOOT.INI
DEL C:\BOOT.INI
BOOTCFG /REBUILD FIXBOOT
6. Exit the console, remove the disc and restart your computer.

Or you can always reinstall the operating system.
After that you could make a recovery image and use the image to reinstall. Here is a link:http://www.fixya.com/support/r4213055-quickly_reinstall_operating_system .

Thank you for using FixYa

You have to start your PC with the XP cd-rom install disk, if you have
one.

Then, when you come to the screen with the following option displayed :


To repair a Windows XP installation using
Recovery Console, press R.


Then press [R] to start 'Recovery Console'

When confronted by a prompt asking you for Administrator password - just
press [ENTER]

Once in RC has started - type the following command :


expand x:\i386\hal.dl_ c:\windows\system32\hal.dll


(where [x:] is your cd drive-letter)

*NB If SP3 is installed - then the command you type must be :


copy c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386\hal.dll c:\windows\system32


....instead, as the files are of two different revision levels
(versions).


Then reboot.

For that first you have to fix error on harddisk.
Boot computer with recovery disk then choose recovery console mode.
Then type in prompt "chkdsk /r"
then press "y"
then it fix error on harddisk then install windows.
Let me know if you need more assistance.
Thanks.

Boot to Recovery Console and rebuild the BOOT.INI file with the BOOTCFG /REBUILD
