THanks buddy’

my PC Works fine
thanks alot

i’ve done the above instructions, but still no luck in booting my pc.

Thanks a lot!….

My pc is workin fine now..

I have this problem.
The only thing that comes up is

Invalid boot.INI
Booting from C:/WINDOWS (nothing else)

Then goes to the safe mode, start windows normally screen. Tried putting in the setup CD. Never recognizes it. It just keeps restarting and goes directly to the safe mode screen. Can’t go to any other command prompt screens either.

Any Suggestions?

i do all of the above and windows starts up normal…but then when i shut off my pc and start it up again, the same error screen shows up “\system32\hal.dll is missing or corrupt please reinstall the copy of above file”

Please Help!!!!

I started my lenovo laptop this AM and recieved the hal.dll missing error. I replaced the hal.dll from the recovery console, restarted, no go. I checked and the file was there and copied correctly as the one from the cd was smaller in size. The error message persisted. Restored all the boot files, Checked boot.ini, even ran fixboot etc, still no go. Proceeded to reinstall xp as the D-Partition retained all my data files. It got to the end 99% and recieved an error that it couldnt load ntdetect.com and after that ntldr. So tried a backup winxp install disk, no change. Ran the bios hd diagnostic program, that stuck on “0% done” for about 30 minutes. I am convinced that the 2 year old 80gig hd has crashed permanently but cant be sure.

i have a laptop when i go to start it up it gives an error message of invalid boot.ini file it then goes to try and boot but just recycles back to the error screen after starting back up no futher then that i do not have a recovery disk and the laptop did not come with a original windows xp cd please help i have tried everything that i know to do i have a lot of pictures and music that i really dont want to lose on that computer thank you for your time and any help with this matter

Tried the fix for boot ini, not getting error message but after welcome screen dialogue says “this copy of windows needs to be registered with Microsoft before you can log on” Yes/No. When I click yes the screen remaiins blank with my background. NB it is a gen valid copy of Win XP and was previously registered and running.
