Repair the Windows Boot Configuration without a CD Drive
Hello there,
Today I received the dreadful "hal.dll is missing or corrupt" error message. The first step to resolve it I assume is to repair the boot configuration using the Windows XP Recovery Console. I have other computers running XP and also the original install CD.
However, the computer is a Dell Mini 9 (Inspiron 910) and does not have a CD drive.
How can I repair it? Any advice on how to create a bootable USB memory key with the repair files?
Thank you a lot,
Dave

Quintiere,
Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
You will need to purchase or maybe borrow and external dvd in order to run a repair on the OS by booting to the OS disc.

Thank you for your reply Jesse.
But can't I run a repair from a bootable USB memory key?
