I have the typical \system32\hal.dll missing file issue, but can't get around it the typical ways.
Huge issue PLEASE HELP!!!
I put in the recovery disk, R for recovery, it does not offer me to select a system or ask me for admin password. When I type bootcfg /rebuild it tells me failed to successfully scan, error caused by corrupt file - use chkdsk.
I try chkdsk and it will initially tell me the voume apprears to be in good condition but chkdsk /p to check volume anyway. When I try that, it scans through, says it finished checking the volume but doesn't tell me anything other then allocation unit bytes, total allocation and units available.
bootcfg /add tells me the same as above, corrupt file, use chkdsk.
bootcfg /lsit tells me there are currently no boot entries available to display.
WHAT ELSE CAN I TRY??? I would try taking the hardrive out, but I don't have another computer.
