Error Message: Missing \SYSTEM32\HAL.DLL

Anyone familiar with this error message when booting into Windows XP on a Macbook?
This problem began when I attempted to setup multiple partitions for Windows, using the disk management utility for Windows XP:
"Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<windows root>\system32\hal.dll
Please re-install a copy of the above file"
Before trying to make more partitions, everything ran A-OK.
Please advise if you have run into this.
Thanks,
Mbs

I have the same problem with bootcamp and parallels.
Replacing the dll does not help.
btw: at the moment it seems to bee that xp does not work with bootcamp at all.
After installation I get a drive error. Looking up the support pages it is suggested to format the bootcamp volume before installing xp.
I tried this with the xp-installer (ntfs format) and from parallels using the old DOS format command.
No method worked.
After trying to run the bootcamp-xp in parallels I finally got the dll-error.

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.

  • MOVED: Windows cannot boot because of missing/corrupt hal.dll! Help!

    This topic has been moved to Operating Systems.
    Windows cannot boot because of missing/corrupt hal.dll! Help!

    Hi,
    make sure you have disconnected all non-essential external devices (printers, scanners, external harddisk) prior to installing BootCamp Windows.
    Leave only mouse, keyboard and display connected.
    Make sure that your XP CD is either retail or OEM/systemBuilder version and not a manufacturer-bundled one.
    Also make sure that the CD is 'clean' (no dust, no scratches, etc.).
    Use the BootCamp Assistant to revert back to one single OSX volume.
    Use OSX Disk Utility to Verify your harddisk and repair permissions.
    Retry the XP installation from scratch.
    Generally using NTFS is more likely to not getting the 'missing hal.dll' error.

  • Error message: Missing PDF maker files in Word 2007

    OK, I am beyond frustrated. I have had nothing but trouble with Windows Vista and Adobe Acrobat. Please help!!!
    What happens: first, the pdf addin for Word 2007 suddenly becomes disabled, for no apparent reason. Forget about trying to re-enable it through the Add-Ins menu, because Word tells me that the "connected state of Office Add-Ins registered in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE cannot be changed". This is a problem for me, because I use a special font (Vietnamese) that sometimes gets corrupted when running pdf maker. The only consistent way I have found to avoid this problem is to run the pdf maker as "Quick PDF" and as far as I can see that option is only available through the pdf addin in Word, I have never been able to find it when I open the Acrobat program and create a pdf from there.
    Second problem: shortly after the pdf addin becomes disabled, my Acrobat program loses the ability to create pdfs altogether. I get the error message "Missing PDF maker files". Yes, I have tried repairing the installation and re-starting my computer per the instructions given. It doesn't fix the problem. I also tried looking in the Knowledge Database on this website, but it appears that the instructions they have to fix the problem there are for earlier versions of Word, not 2007, because my version of word does not look like the version of Word in their little videos.
    This is the second time this has happened. The first time I resolved the problem by a) re-installing Acrobat, which is a pain because it involves calling Adobe and wading through their customer service to get a new installation number, and b) paying a computer repair service to dig deep into the guts of my computer and convince it to change the Office Add-ins to allow the pdf addin again. It worked for about 6 months, and now I have the same problem again. For some reason Vista is spontaneously disabling Acrobat.
    I simply cannot deal with this every few months. We all know that Vista is a crappy program, but I run a business and I need a program that works with whatever crappy program Microsoft puts out. Please, can anyone give me suggestions about how to re-enable these functions when Vista disables them?
    Thanks in advance!

  • I keep getting the error message "Missing PDFMaker files. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode"

    I keep getting the error message "Missing PDFMaker files  Do you want to run the installer in repair mode"when I try to convert a file into a pdf.  I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling but I continue to get the message.  I am able directly print file, but there are some errors in the pages, but some of them have font errors. Please advise.

    Hey Suzanne,
    Could you please let me know what Acrobat version are you using and what kind of file are you trying to convert to PDF.
    If you are using an MS Office application, then PDF Maker has to be an active plug-in for the PDF conversion.
    Have you tried using Print to PDF option from the File menu for the same?
    Please check and then let me know.
    Regards,
    Anubha
