when i'm going to this Repair Console in Win XP, booting from cd, pressing "r" and so on always comes that win setup could not be loaded because cdrom.sys or any other thing could not be loaded from cd. CD is clean and do not have any errors, cant even make new installation. Tested it on other pc there it goes, and tested other win XP Pro version on this PC it stopped. Booting with Kanotix a modified KNOPPIX boot without problems, so cd device has no errors, i think What can i do? Can i do anything? or is formating and reinstall because setup cant be loaded is the only solution??
I have an EEE PC running Windows XP with the most recent updates and service pack. I think I got hit by a malware. All of a sudden yesterday my sound card stopped working, so I rebooted the system and now it won't start because "system32/DRIVERS/isapnp.sys" is missing or corrupt.The problem is that I don't have a CD drive in this computer and I'm not sure how to go about fixing this otherwise. I'd love some suggestions! I really do not want to have to erase it and start over.....that's a last resort as there's a lot of data that I need.
I can open up the recovery console with my winxp disc, but not long enough to fix the problem. My computer will shut down.I originally thought that it might have been an overheating issue, but i ran Sandra and all temps came up under 40 cel. I can not seem to keep my computer booted long enough to fix anything. It will stay booted as long as it is on the choice option of the Windows XP cd to install, repair or exit.
I have a missing/corrupt hal.dll on an older emachines desktop. Window's doesn't get a chance to load and the computer won't boot CD's. The issue came up after I tried installing a chinese version of windows - the cd seems to simply inject a norton ghost image - but there was an error in norton and the install crashed. Now the computer boots, loads the bios, and displays the error. Is there a way to fix the file without loading a restore disk?
When I boot my computer I get a message (Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: (Windows root)system32hal.dll.) Please re-install a copy of the above file. I have tryed a repair with the XP disc but I am not quite sure how to use it as it is all in DOS.
Trying to help out the grandparents, who just returned home from a trip. They tried setting up their computer and it is giving them the message about the file missing or corrupt (something similiar to this- I may have the order wrong: c:windowsconfigsystem 32) We printed off the directions from Microsoft for the recovery console. The first two files to copy regarding system and software indicate they "cannot be copied" however, the last three were able to be copied. I stopped my efforts there since the first two didn't work. I noticed a prior post indicated I could ignore the first two copy commands, is that correct? Or can I try a repair in the reinstall option? What should I try first? Unhooking the printer/speakers? Hardware issue? If that fails, try F8 and use last known configuration? If that works, do I do a system restore? When would I use "safe mode?" We are at different houses w/o wireless so I am trying to get all info I can before heading back over there.
After using my pc I went to turn it off as normal but I switched off the socket too soon, as the pc hadn't finished shutting down.When I went to restart it, it seemed to be ok but before it booted up properly i got this message. Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt WINDOWS SYSTEM32CONFIGSYSTEM You can attempt to repair this file by starting windows setup using the original setup CD-ROM. select 'r' at the first screen to start repair. I booted the pc from this disk and I pressed 'r' which took me to the recovery console.
When I boot my computer, it tells me it can't load windows because the following file is missing or corrupt:<windows root>system32hal.dllCan i use the "repair console" to copy this file onto the hard drive from a floppy disk? If not, how do I rectify this problem?
I have a computer that has Hal.dll missing. Can this be fixed through the recovery console? I think it can but I don't remember how. A Wipe/install isnt the best option here.
This machine has been unstable for a while now. It has gotten to the point where after every reboot, something has changed -- sometimes the sound device driver could not be loaded, reboot, it's ok, but firefox won't load, next reboot, my nvidia control panel won't load, reboot, something is funny with microsoft .net framework.Now after a reboot, I have the registry error: "one of the files containing the system's registry data had to be recovered by use of log or alternate copy". Bummer.This error, along with all of the inconsistent program and system errors, leads me to believe the registry is hosed.My questions are: If the registry is corrupt, a clean install is the only answer?I don't know at what point it became corrupt, but are there telltale signs to look for as I am installing new software?
my computer will just reboot itself every couple of days. When it asks for my password, it says it cannot display my profile because of an error or maybe a corrupt file (but not in those words exactly). The computer says it will give me a temporary profile but if it is rebooted, anything that I have saved on this temporary profile will go away forever. This is true?
Everytime i boot my comp i get the same things happening. I let windows load and get a BSOD just b4 i get to my account logon. The BSOD states: STOP: c0000218 (Registry File Failure) Registry cannot load hive (file): SystemRootSystem32ConfigSoftware or its log or alternate. Corrupt, absent, or not writable. Ive tried to work around it by using my Windows XP Home SP2 disk and booting from that but then i get stuck in the loading process of the disk saying that: aic78xx.sys is corrupt press any key to continue
I have fixed this problem in the past in repair mode and i want to do the same with this, but, there is no filename at the end of the statement see below Windows could not start because the following file is corrupt or missing windowssystem32configsystem Can this be fixed in repair mode without having to be reformated or reimaged.
I've had the familiar hal.dll missing or corrupt on starting XP SP1 on a mainboard NameMSI KM2M Combo (MS-6738).All I did was to take out the 1 Gig of SDRAM I've used OK for months and fit a new 1 Gig DDR module. A year or two back I had STOP errors through merely changing a RAM module, the simplest upgrade usually, so I kept switching RAM until it went with no STOPs. I resent having to reinstall an OS for a five-minute RAM refit! Obviously the hal error is caused by the new DDR module, since I'm now using the old SDRAM. Is there a way around this apart from the dreaded reinstall of OS? In the rare event the DDR could be faulty does anyone know a non-windows DDR test utility please?
I restarted my computer today and right after it started booting from my C: drive, an error came up that said something like "Windows cannot find the file C:windowssystem32tfs.sys because it is missing or corrupted." It suggests that I use the recovery disk to fix it, but I don't have the recovery disk, so I'm kind of in trouble. Luckily, I had some Linux LiveCDs laying around, so I used one to boot up my system.I think that this might have something to do with me trying to change my boot screen, but I didn't mess with that particular file, so I'm not sure. Also, I haven't done anything to the RAM lately.
This is not your typical Hal.dll file is missing or corrupt. I've tried all the fixes, and am getting nowhere. This is a Windows XP Pro install.I tried chkdsk /R in the Windows XP Recovery Console first, and while it did complete, it reported that "the disk contains one or more unrecoverable problems." I also should note that Recovery Console did not ask me to identify the windows install, nor did it ask me to enter the Administrator password.Next, I tried bootcfg /rebuild and got "Error: failed to successfully scan disks for windows installations. This error may be caused by a corrut file system, which could prevent bootcfg from scanning.Use chkdsk to detact any errors."
I had problems right out of the gate...after typing out the first command line: tmpsystem.bak and hitting enter, I got the message that said could not find file...so I tried again and was extra diligent with my typing, but the same disappointing message came up.I decided to use some imagination and initiative and, started with the last command line first: tmpdefault.bak This worked for this line and then the next one too: tmpsecurity.bak and so on. When I got back to the tmpsystem.bak line, it even worked for that one too.
Then I moved on to the delete commands and that worked out OK...as far as I could tell?But, when I got to the repair lines and, in particular, the: repairsystem C:windowssystem32configsystem I then got the same message saying that the file could not be found...back to square one.Then I went back to the start...typing out the copy lines, and I got the same message for the system line again. So, I started from the default line again and it worked--I was asked if I wanted to re-write the first file copied and I chose Y (yes) then the same brick wall when I got to the system line.
My Hewlett Packard Pavilion ZT3000 notebook was running fine but then Windows wouldn't load and the message, "system32driverstfs.sys is missing or corrupt" came up. I'm using Windows XP.Only two things happened prior to this occurring, the lid got shut a little hard but no damage and I downloaded Servicepack 2.
I ran a HHD self test and it tested ok, all the help screens, etc. come up fine but not Windows.I have an operating disk and a recovery disk but neither seems to help
I just boot up my computer and a black screen (which i've seen before and has only led to re-install XP) came up saying the following file is missing or corrupt: /system/ntfs32(I don't recall the exact file name - next time I will write it down). But i'm sure many have experience with this.Now somehow I was still able to enter Windows after reboot and F8 (never happened before - i've always had to re-install). What can I do NOW to prevent this next time from happening and perhaps (almost certain actually) having to re-install Windows XP? Can I get that file from somwhere? Am I missing a service Pack? I have SP2 for Windows XP Professional version 2002. (I double checked My Computer>Properties).
I'm on an older computer with Windows 2000 which has been working fine. Today, in the middle of doing nothing out of the ordinary, I got a blank screen. So I rebooted and was served up this error message: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: WINDOWSSYSTEM32CONFIGSYSTEM You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD-ROM. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair. I don't have the Setup disc but I do have the original program disc - but it wouldn't read it and keeps giving me the same error. I can't even start is Safe Mode.

I shut down my laptop before I left last night and when I hope, my system didnt shut down all the way and there was a blue screen saying an error had occurred and if this was the first time I had seen the message to shut the ocmputer down and restart it.I did as instructed. When I powered it back up, I recieved a message saying Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:<Windows root"system32 toskrnl.exe. Please reinstall a copy of the above file.The problem is, I don't have the XP cd as my laptop came pre-installed. A friend suggested I go into the safe mode and do a system restore to the last saved date.
I have a big problem. My CFOs computer has been messed up with the uninstallation of Norton. The computer will not boot after trying to run Autocheck (file is missing or corrupt) and the gives an error. I tried to use the Windows XP disc and the setup sees the partition but cannot recognise the format.Unfortunatley I don't know any commands in command line / repair console. Does anyone know commands to get the machine to run checks / get the machine to install XP? Formatting is the last option as there are some data on the machine that is not backed up.
I have a system that operates on Windows NT 4.0 Workstation.It's a fairly old computer, more than 5 years. During the night the fan in the powersupply stopped working, so the computer over heated. When I came to work in the morning it had the blue death screen of gibberish.I rebooted and it doesn't go through the whole boot up sequence but gives the following message:Windows NT could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <winnt root>system32 toskrnl.exe Please re-install a copy of the above file.
Here goes, the other day I booted up my PC and it showed "windows can not boot, ntfs.sys is missing or corrupt" so I did this. Microsoft support. I replaced the file in the recovery console and everything copied over fine. Then I booted up again and I received an error message before windows displayed my login screen --lsass.exe "endpoint is invalid" click ok and my computer reboots. Windows at that time was booting all the way up though. I found this support article but did not help Microsoft support This error does not allow me to boot into safe mode or regular windows but I can get into the recovery console.
i'm running windows xp home, on an emachine m6805 laptop. at some point yesterday my computer died and rebooted and now the hal.dll driver is missing or corrupted. i've tried various things from other threads such as safemode, last known configuration, recovery, etc. nothing worked. i've tried booting from cd with my xp discs but i think the problem i have is that my discs are recovery cds from emachines and i cant press "R" like everyone says to do. reformatting is not an option unless i take it to a computer repair shop to get all my info off that i need. what can i do? i read the kelly link that people always link to but it makes no sense. can anyone help? if you need more info just let me know.
