[CoolasIce2]

Good vid. Can ANY XP install disc be used, for example another one or even the original that has a lot of unnecessary programs deleted? Thanks.

[LauVanne05]

[han250993]

thankyou very much! clear and easy to follow and did the job perfectly! thankyou!

[zdrastvutye]

i dont know if this entirely true, because after expanding hal dl_ from the cd and rebooting it said: "file ntoskrnl exe is missing or corrupt. and the reason for hall dll to be missing was i input a serial nr for snagit 725 from the internet. so watch out...

[djakowchuk]

[Vidya0091]

Very helpful thank you. I got this error when I tried to install a second OS on my other hard drive

[daabear1946]

Had same problem. Boot into safe mode, run system restore, when you restart after restore tap F8 to start safe mode and finish the restore in safe mode.

restart immediately. you should be able to fully boot windows

[Lewi121212]

this happened to my computer, i followed a forum and to some extent it worked, but then i watched this and done exactly everything you did, and now it gets stuck on the windows xp loading bar... it didn't before, please help?

[LilChummmmmm]

I had the same prob, put in xp disk clicked enter "boot from CD " but the message I got back on the blue screen was " file\i386\ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded the error code is 7, setup cannot continue" What does this mean (apart from the fact im fkd?) Thanks

[jonpaulday]

This did the trick, cheers mate.

[MaryJWonder]

I have an Asus G73JH with great specs...have no clue what the deal is. i reinstalled both the game and steam a few times now. Can someone help me out??

[IDontKnow20188]

hey dude i was just wondering if u could show me how to fix a CI.dll problem

[gldiana]

Thank you!!! You saved me. Works on Windows 7 too using a XP recovery disk

[allabarra756]

Found this to be help at all.

Extremely difficult for us to understand this accent and spoken too fast and garbled.. had to keep rewinding and repeating.

Came to a halt when referring to the root c:\

It is NOT accessible via any command

We can change directory to access all other drives, but not root c:\

Therefore the delete boot.ini file command cannot find file or directory.

Can progress no further.

[YetsurMuzar]

@allabarra756 you don't need to access c:\

just do the attrib command three times, one for each of the (-r -h -s). then the delete command will work.

[spokociomek12]

do not man i got error failed to scan help pls

[Llordking]

after i edit the boot.ini file, the computer boot and after the windows loading screen, the screen turns black and nothing happens, what should i do?

[F0rtyFive]

@Llordking if i knew i would help ya lol

[F0rtyFive]

same problem but does anyone know why the fuck i cant get to c windows?? after i press R and get to the part where it says press EXIT to quit recovery console and restart computer, under that it says c:\> .......... wtf?? it should say like 1 c:\windows> or something...

[CutieMcPretty]

I still get the same error mesg... plz help.

[wseregatto]

Other option!!!

c:\boot /rebuild

[PokeDot517]

Screw it its too hard ive watched this video over 5 times and i dont get it i didnt buy the laptop

So i dont have to worry about it

Sadly that sounds selfish but still

[alexandrabutiri2000]

it doesn't show me as it shows u at 2:44:( and when i type expand c:\i386\hal.dl it sais can't be expanded :((

[jimmywacked]

great stuff → but my error is in the windows root\system32\hal.dll \what would i do different.? thxs

[jimmywacked]

@jimmywacked actually I see now-- its all 'root' stuff.. Is there a problem is I cant get into the c:\windows - cause my chioces to boot from are D:\i386 or D:\miniNT - after i copied the file and it said overwrite(which means its there) I still cant start..it still says file still missing !

[lpa3yonk]

reinstall windows without format c  driv

[AnimalUnleashed27]

What do you do if you lost the CD? Is there a way to fix it without the CD??

[titajevska]

Just use from Hiren`s boot disk smart boot manager and than can be fixed easy!

[cn187]

COMPUTER SHUTS OFF WHEN IM TRYING TO TYPE IN THE THINGS, WHAT DO I DO, DOESNT ANYBODY KNOW???? PLEASE HELP

[donzaliko]

when i delete boot.ini from recovery it tells me that Access is denied :(

[xxxruzzelxxx]

my computer really wont boot from cd, help

[garymcmanus2]

[NighthunterNL]

isnt it possable to run a linux live CD, and replace the defected hall.dll?

[hartror]

Woot, deleted a partition during a Linux install and got this error. Cheers for that. 

[hartror]

Woot, deleted a partition during a :inux install and got this error. Cheers for that.

[dipliglo]

Whenever I boot up the recovery console I do not get the option to press 1 in order to acres the cd. Please help! Is it because I have the wrong windows cd ? Thanks

[easicomputers]

It worked temporarily, and reappeared. I ended up running Windows Repair but then I could not get Windows Updats to run. I then ran System File Checker (Clicked Start, clicked Run type sfc /scannow, and then press ENTER) and also uninstalled IE8 and I was able to run updates. (whew!)

[easicomputers]

Very helpful on an HP reinstall, were HP was clueless. The only thing I could not accomplish was editing the boot.ini; it would not let me save, so I instead lower the timer that gives the option for each OS and it's acceptable boot time. Thanks!

[yugiohabridgedman123]

Can you help with this problem? I boot up my laptop normally, yep whatever. I log in and it loads for a minute and then my whole screen turns light blue like a default windows colour. It just freezes on that screen, doesn't come up with any text or anything, just a blue screen and a mouse.

[wildsonnic]

Thanks a lot! it really helped me a lot, after two days of looking for an answer, this was the best of all.

[wildsonnic]
