Does any one have a cure for the dreaded error of Hal.dll missing or
corrupt. I have a 630I been running fine for a couple of years. Now at
random times it will give the error of Hal.dll missing or corrupt. I have
the original drive in a second bay not hooked up, swap drives out, copy
hal.dll to the faulty drive and same message. The only way I can get it back
up and running is to restore a image of the corrupt drive. Any help or
information would be appreciated.

did you try to boot from the windows cd
go into repair mode
and at the dos prompt
type each of these 3 commands

bootcfg/rebuild
fixboot
fixmbr

that should do it.

No I didn't know what else to do, the next time it happens I will try that .
I was wondering if my drive was starting to go bad, have run test, chkdsk
/r. Downloaded WD drive tools and nothing shows up as bad.
Thanks, will let you know what happens.

Sam,

The hal.dll error is related to boot.ini pointing to an incorrect partition.
Tell us about your HDs and partitions. Do you swap HDs around prior to the
error? Do you use a boot manager? Could you post the text from your
boot.ini?

assuming that you are talking xp and have a copy of the original install
cd here are good instructions to follow to successfully do a recovery
reinstall. it is critical that you follow the directions closely or you
may just overwrite your entire system and loose all of your installed
programs and data... read them through each step before attempting it.
