From the boot error prompt, we can see that it is "Hal. DLL file loss or damage causes the system to fail to start. Therefore, you only need to find the file with the same name from the installation disc and release it to the directory where the original file is located. The "i386" folder of the installation disc is an important folder where almost all system-level files are located.
Enter the following commands in the command prompt on the Recovery Console:
C: \ Windows> X: // X indicates the drive letter. Change it to your drive letter.
X: \> Cd i386 // switch to the i386 folder of the CD
X: \> i386> Expand Hal. dl_c: \ windows \ system32 \ // set "Hal. the DL _ "file is released to the" C: \ WINDOWS \ itemtype system32 \ "directory.
When the prompt "expanded a file" appears, it indicates that the "Hal. dll" file has been released. After the computer is restarted, the computer can be restarted (4 ).

The "Expand" command is the file release command. To reduce the size of all the dynamic link library files on the Windows installation disc and reduce the occupied space on the disc, they are all specially compressed. "DL. To replace a file with the same name lost or corrupted in the system, you must release it to the system using the "Expand" command.
4. Highlights of the fault recovery console
Fail 1: failure to start the fault
Problem: the system cannot start when a Windows XP Server is installed. The system prompts "ntldr is missing, press any key to restart" (5 ).

This is mainly because the ntldr file is lost or damaged. You only need to extract this file from the i386 folder of the Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 installation disc, copy it to the root directory of drive C and overwrite it. Enter the following command at the command prompt in the Recovery Console to restart the computer to fix the fault.
C: \ Windows> X:
X: \> Cd i386
X: \> i386> copy ntldr c: \ // copy the ntldr file in the i386 folder of the installation disc to the root directory of drive C.
Tip 2: coexistence of multiple systems and faults
If Windows 98/XP is installed on the GF machine, the following error occurs when Windows 98 is selected from the Multi-boot menu on the screen: "Access the Boot Sector file multi (0) disk (0) RDISK (0) Partition (1) \ Boot, with an I/O error" (6 ).

This is mainly because the boot partition file bootsect. Dos cannot be found to start Windows 98. In the process of installing multiple operating systems, we usually first install Windows 98, and then install a later version of the operating system, such as Windows 2000/XP/2003. During the installation of a later version of the system, the installer first saves the original boot partition as the bootsect. DOS file, and then puts its own boot program into the boot partition. Because the bootsect. DOS file is created by the installer during the installation process, you cannot copy and overwrite the file from the installation disc like other lost or damaged files.
First, type "sys C:" At the DOS prompt and pass the Windows 98 system file to drive C. Then, insert the Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 installation CD into the optical drive, restart the computer, boot the system from the CD, when the screen appears, press the "r" key twice, when the installer runs the repair task option, select the "check startup Sector" option and move the cursor to the "continue (execute selected task)" option and press Enter, follow the wizard prompts until the "installation program has been fixed" prompt. Restart the computer to troubleshoot the problem.

Tip 3: Garbled Error
Difficulty: during system startup, garbled characters are displayed in any Chinese language, and English can be properly displayed.

This problem mainly occurs when the font file is bootfont. if the binfile is damaged or lost, extract the file from the i386 folder of the Windows 2000/XP/2003 installation disc and copy it to the C root directory to overwrite it. Hal. the two DLL files are copied to the X: \ windows \ system32 \ folder (X is the drive letter of the partition where the operating system is located). Multiple boot failures will not be cracked. This is a permanent task.
