Up gradation of O.S (2nd Repair).
Symptom 03.
Symptom: <windows Root>\system32\HAL.DLL
Reason:
vThe above symptom says that the file "HAL.DLL" is missing or corrupted.
v The above symptom is due to virus/unscheduled shut down (or) deletion.
v By seeing the above symptom we think that 1st repair/recovery console mode can be performed.
v But in recovery console mode/1st repair we get "HAL.DL_ " file which does not full fill the actual requirment, infact we need "HAL.DLL."
v Hence 1st repair/recovery console mode will be unsuccessful.
v So by seeing the above symptom, many will format the partitions.
v But we should not format because we may have data on
§ Destop
§ C-Drive
§ My Documents
v So to avoid the formatting of partitions we have another option.
i.e. [up gradation of O.S/2nd repair]
By performing the above operation we can successfully save the data/software/drivers.
Step to up grade the operating system without formatting.
v Insert the windows XP bootable CD & restart
v Press any key to boot from CD ......
v Set up is loading the files.
v We can see 3 options.
§ Enter = continue
§ [R=Repair/1st Repair/Recovery console mode]
§ F3=Quit.
v Press Enter = continue
v Press F8 to accept Liecence Agreement.
v Now Again we can see 3 options.
§ F3=Quit.
§ [R=Repair/2st Repair/Recovery console mode]
§ ESC = Don't Repair.
v Press [R] to up grade the operating system.
v Now the set up will overwrite the damage file without formatting.
v Now the set up copies the files 100%.
