Hi hefemeister,
thanks for the info,
the option 1 works fine, after boot from the win XP cd, the only option is delete partition , create partition and install - HOw can i just recover the hal.dll or other missing files?

thanks

do a repair installation.
How-to repair Windows XP

Once you are done you will need to update windows as it will be restored to the point that the disk you have was at.

Darn option 2 took me 10 minutes to write but I am glad option 1 worked.

Or follow the instructions from the link Mak gave you.
Restore Hal.dll - How To Restore Hal.dll From the Windows XP CD - Hal.dll

thanks again. But the problem is - i cannot access the recovery console. the only option i have there is the formatt partition and install

I just realize the partition C: is empty .. how is it possible ?

 

[Hefemeister]

So you will have to do a repair installation. follow the directions in the link provided. You choose to install and then you can repair a selected xp installation.

hhaha , i gave up - I cannot do a repair installation. I can only format the drive for clean install.. i mean there is no repair option in my case.. no idea why.. from the partition c: - the menu said it is empty-- no windows installed.

Now come to the last resort, I will try to backup all the importnat files and do a clean install ... in HP recovery disk, if i press alt +D , then i can come to command and prompt... then i hope i can move the files

Or you could pull the hard drive and hook it up to another computer. Since it is sata you could directly hook it up or get a sata to usb converter and move the data that way.

something like that but I have never used it so I am not vouching for it. Just an example.

HI, Now i cna attached the laptop HD to my desktop - is it possible to replace the corrupted files from windows? IF yes. what can i do

 

[Hefemeister]

look on the xp disk here we are assuming it is drive d: for this file.
d:\i386\hal.dl_

then copy it to the laptop harddrive here.
X:\windows\system32\hal.dll

See if that fixes it. Good thinking.

I realize the whole system 32 is not in the windows folder.. i think that is why before it doens work at all... is it ok to copy my system 32 in my desktop to the laptop HD
