Fixing Hal.dll errors

Well like given in the title, hal.dll is caused due to a corrupt hal.dll file or a damaged boot.ini file. The error is usually displayed while the PC is being booted up and just before the desktop is being shown. Damage to the hal.dll file may be caused by improper installation or removal of software or due to some physical damage of the hard disk drive. Some of the common troubleshooting techniques for fixing this error message have been listed in the following section.

• In some rare cases it is seen that the hal.dll error message maybe caused randomly and there maybe no actual problem with any of the DLL files. In such cases, it is best suited to restart the PC and the problem should vanish.
• If you have enabled system restore, then the whole procedure just got easier. Just restore the PC to an earlier restore point and you are good to go. System restore can be done either in the full mode or in the safe mode and doing it in the safe mode is always recommended.
• Like mentioned earlier, corrupt boot.ini files may also lead to display of hal.dll error messages. Replacing or editing the boot.ini file which can be found in the root partition is one such remedy. You will have to enable the display of hidden files in the File Options, as the boot.ini is a hidden file.
• Errors in the boot sector of the hard disk will also result in the formation of hal.dll errors. Rewriting the boot sector will help in curbing the problem.
• Well think, from where did you receive the hal.dll file initially? Of course from your Windows XP installation disk. If you have the disk with you, the DLL file can be found in the disk itself and you should be able to place it on your PC.
• Repairing the current Windows XP installation is also recommended. Boot from the installation disk and when the prompt appears instead of installation, choose the repair option. You will be asked to choose the current Windows installation. Once you point the wizard to the current installation take a coffee break because it might take sometime for the repairing process.
• In some extremely rare cases, when nothing seems to be working, it is better to reinstall the Window XP. Care must to be taken so that the data is initially backed up before resorting to XP reinstallation.
