Windows Boot Manager - windows failed to load because the HAL is missing

what does this mean? what do I need to do to repair? I have no windows installation cd as I bought the laptop with all the software on it - it was a demo in comet

Hi
I assume the \System32\Hal.dll is missing.
This means that your windows OS needs to be reinstalled.
I dont know what notebook you have but I think that Toshiba recovery disk creator was preinstalled on your notebook. This software creates the Toshiba recovery DVD which help you to reinstall the OS. But now its to late you cannot boot into the OS.
You could try this:
Press F8, choose repair my computer and then choose Toshiba HDD Recovery.
Maybe this option is available.
If not then you would need a Windows installation disk

  • MacBook Windows7 install failing - ntkrnlpa.exe - "Windows failed to load because the kernel is missing, or corrupt."

    Trying to do BootCamp Windows-7 install on my MacBook (running 10.5.x).
    Detailed progress notes here. Latest: "Windows failed to load because the kernel is missing, or corrupt." (ntkrnlpa.exe) Hit `Enter` to continue, make next selection, but it comes back to error message. So shut down (power button) then reboot with Windows DVD still in there. Ended up with same error!

    Best thing to do is nuke the drive, then reinstall Vista again.
    I know this is a long process but should get you back running again.
    Linux makes odd partitions that recovery does not understand and they don't get deleted properly, boot and nuke will take care of that.

  • BLACK SCREEN stating "windows could not start because the following is miss

    I installed Bootcamp update 2.1 and then XP SP3.
    Now when I start up my Mac I am getting a BLACK SCREEN stating "windows could not start because the following is missing or corrupt: <windows root>\system 32-hal.dll Please re-installl a copy of hte above file"
    I tried to use the option key and insert the Windows CD but it won't start up.
    Also, when I start up I must use the option key and select the Mac OS and it will start up and everything is fine there. Advice appreciated.

    Did you ever solve this? I had updated to BC 2.1 (After updating Apple Software Update al on the Windows side) I waited & just tonight tried to install SP-3. It appeared to install & When I was prompted to restart--I also got the black screen. Mine said:
    Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:\Windows\inf\biosinfo.inf
    You can attempt to repair the file by starting Windows setup using the original setup CD-ROM. Select ‘r’ at the 1st screen to repair.
    I just force powered off & booted into Mac.
    I think I need to restart my Mac into Windows (using the Option key ) WHILE THE WINDOWS XP CD is in the optical Drive. Then maybe I’ll get a choice to select ‘r’ to repair at the 1st screen?
    You may need to do essentially the same thing. I do not know if this problem is a boot camp problem of just a Windows problem.
    Sure is annoying,
    Good luck!

  • IBooks is telling me a specific book's contents " failed to load because the requested resource is missing."

    A download of Eric Metaxas' "Amazing Grace" is showing up as a literal empty book on my New iPad. All the other books appear.

    Try deleting the problematic book (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iBook store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iBook store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iBook store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen after you tap the store button in the top corner of the iBook app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

    I DO NOT HAVE AN INSTALL DISK AND DONT KNOW HOW TO GET SYSTEM BACK UP AND RUNNING??
    CAN SOMBODY PLEASE HELP ME ???

    Hi
    It seems to be a Toshiba US notebook series and therefore the recovery process might be different as on Toshiba European notebooks
    However, the recovery procedure should be mention in user manual. Check this
    Try firstly this:
    Power up the unit and press F8.
    Then choose Safe Mode and try to boot the Windows in safe mode.
    If it does not work, try Repair the Computer option.
    I think the notebook should be equipped with HDD recovery. This means that you could recover the unit without the usage of the recovery disk.
    As mentioned this is US notebook series and as far as I know you have to press 0 button immediately after the notebook has been powered up.
    This should start the recovery

  • Satellite A500-15N "windows failed to load"

    I turned my laptop on today and the usual boot process began.
    -Toshiba logo (press F2, F12)
    -windows green loading bar
    Then the laptop displays a black screen and nothing happens.
    When I power off the laptop and turn it back on I get a message saying "windows failed to load" it then gives me the options to run windows normally or to run windows restore.
    Windows restores does not work when I try to run it.
    This previously happened to me and I was forced to use my backup restore CDs to restore the laptop to originial settings. I would like to try and resolve the issue for good, if possible, though.
    I do not want to have to restore the laptop each time this happens and risk losing saved data.
    The laptop works fine when constantly plugged in.
    Both times now this has happened when the laptop has been disconnected from the mains and the battery has run out of power.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    For the past week it hasn't been used. I shut it down and left it unplugged. Then yesterday I plugged it back in and switched it on. The battery was fully drained and it wouldn't load.
    By pressing f6 during boot process I can get the list of options for starting in safe mode etc. From here I am able to run the Toshiba recovery and restore it to original setup.
    While this allows me to use the laptop now, I fear that by letting the battery lose power I will have to go through this process again and risk losing any data saved on the hard drive.
    I don't think I am the only person to have experienced this issue from what I have read on the internet, but I have. It found a solution.

  • Windows fails to load on my Satellite L300d-243

    When I turn my laptop on windows fails to load. This happened just after a windows update, I dont have installation disks and I cant load into safe mode or anything.
    What can I do?

    this may be a stupid question but bios is F12?
    ive set that to default and the same happens, windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause. To fix problem:
    1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.
    2.Choose you language settings, and clich "Next".
    3.Click "repair your computer"
    If you do not hve this disc, contact your systems admin or computer manufacturer for assistance.

  • Sat M30: Windows can`t start because a file is missing

    Error message: Windows can`t start because a file is missing.
    \Windows\system32\config\system
    You can repair from ordinary cd and use "r" for repair.
    How do I use recovery-cd to do this ... It doesn`t work.

    Hi
    Its not easy to use the repair mode because the Recovery CD is image file. The other way is that you try to boot the OS is safe mode and look if the missing file exist in the C:\I386 folder. If not, well I think the only way is to recover the system with the Recovery CD.
    Bye

  • "Quicktime Streaming failed to load because of an unknown error"

    iTunes and Quicktime will not load, install, or uninstall because of at some point the popup message "Quicktime Streaming failed to load because of an unknown error" appears. Succesive reboots and removal of SpyBot (which may have denied access to Quicktime because of a registry setting, which of course may still be the cause of the problem...) have not fixed the problem. Any ideas?

    I have struggled with the same problem for the last few years and could not find any adequate answers. Being a person who likes to run his PC clean and mean, I had stopped all those Apple Itunes / Quicktime applets and deleted Itunes application as I preferred other Media players & converters. Recently my Nokia 6300 phone suite would send me the same error every song I moved from PC to phone. The clue was that I had chosen Optimised AAC format instead of stock standard MP3. Working on this hunch, I re-activated Apple's Software Update from the Scheduled Tasks items of Control Panel to update Quicktime, Itunes and Safari. Now I have AppleMobileDeviceService.exe, iPodService.exe, iTunesHelper.exe all running and I do not get the error anymore. There is also the Bonjour (DNSResponder.exe) service to be considered. See:-

    Yes, you can. I do it many, many times a day. If you're trying to send a message to someone who used to have an iPhone and who didn't disable iMessage before switching phones, they will need to unregister their number with iMessage:
