hal.dll missing or corrupted :( with BootCamp

[SOLVED]hal.dll missing or corrupted with BootCamp

Hi, today i tryed to launch parallels running my Bootcamp partition.
And I found this message just before windows starts running.
And once it was perfectly running before today, I got this problem.

HERE IS THE SOLUTION

So I watched everything who could help me to solve this.

I tryed this http://kb.parallels.com/entry/63/526/0/ and so http://kb.parallels.com/entry/63/526/0/
which means

But still the same problem, it seems that the system is installating something or updating, but when launching BootCamp via parallels i get the same error message.

I tryed to boot with Win Xp pro CD, and in the MS DOS console i run :

I heard in other places that the problem is not always from the hal.dll file but could be too from the boot.ini file.
If someone know what I have to put on this file, cause I installed BootCamp un FAT32 system, so the file would be easy to edit.

here is my boot.ini file :

UPDATE : Tryed to make another VM for bootcamp and still the same error message.
I'm very frustated to see my Bootcamp partition on my MacOsX desktop and i can't do nothing with it

 

I posted the contents of my working boot.ini in this post. You also may want to try what I suggested in that post and see if it works.

 

thanks, but still nothing

 

Well it was worth a try. So neither of the boot.ini that are in that post work in Parallels or booting directly into Boot Camp? If you have not already, try replacing the contents of the boot.ini with

Code:

[boot loader]
timeout=1
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Parallels configuration" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptOut
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /kernel=ntkopvs_.exe /hal=halopvs_.dll

again, but then try booting directly into Boot Camp and quickly select the "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" configuration.

 

Still the same with your new boot.ini
But there is 2 things weird since the beginning :

first : when i took your boot.ini file and i replaced mine by yours, VM start 3 boot options, of course i've tryed all but nothing go. I get hal.dll missing and in one other i have nothing just black screen with the cursor.

second : : is that when i boot with bootcamp partition in windows safe mode, I have to activate my windows altought that i ve activated it before ???????

 

wow, the same thing happened to me today. This morning I was running parallels just fine and I restarted my whole computer and upon restart and attempting to open parallels I got the missing or corrupted hal.dll file. It also told me I needed to download the dll files for the kernel.

 

i just tryed this link :
http://icrontic.com/articles/repair_windows_xp

works fine for bootcamp partition, but still not for parallels VM

 

The only thing I use is the Boot Camp partition, but I am out of town for Thanksgiving and don't have my windows boot disk, but I will try it as soon as I get home.

 

so does somebody have an idea ?

 

Does uninstalling Parallels Tools help?

 

where should i do it ?
Booting with bootcamp partition or with parallels VM ?
With the first it's possible, but with the second I can't reach parallels tools installed on the Windows OS, because of course that's the problem i trying to solve.

 

Booting from the Boot Camp partition of course, since your Boot Camp VM doesn't work. I probably should have been more specific with the wording in my previous post; you will likely need to do a manual uninstall of Parallels Tools since the uninstaller will probably insist that it needs to be run through a Parallels VM.

 

ok I just uninstalled parallels tools, what should I do now ?

update : Ok have to go to bed, what about uninstall and reinstall parallels on MacOsX ?

 

I am guessing that if Parallels Tools is fully uninstalled then Parallels Desktop should be able to start the Boot Camp VM and reinstall Parallels Tools. If it doesn't work then let me know what you get when trying to boot the Boot Camp VM (black screen, error message, etc.).

 

the error message is always the same, just before windows is loading that told me that Windows cannot run because the file hal.dll is missing or corrupt, altought the file is on the hard disk but I've downloaded another hal.dll from the net to test and still nothing...
So I replace the original file, but still the same

 

Problem Solved

 

How??? Did you do it?

Please elaborate!

:S

 

you must format the 200 MB drive Bootcamp makes in the windows Format screen.
