you will have to borrow a windows cd from someone to boot with "or" the other option is to maybe make a bootable cd via the internet. the main problem is that you can't access the disk system at this time however you need to access the disk system via a bootable cd in order to try and replace that corrupted system file. subsequently, once you are at the disk prompt >: you can copy the hal.dll from : \windows\ServicePackFiles\i386 and then paste into the windows\system32 folder or you can find a working copy of hal.dll on a windows cd and paste it into the system32 folder on the hard drive. moreover while you are at the disk system for the above I would also run the commands >: fixboot fixmbr chkdsk /p then exit, remove cd and hope you can boot normally again.. unfortunately, if however, you can not obtain a bootable disk, then you may want to purchase a new operating system from the store or online or look up the model number for your laptop at its maker's website for instructions or faq's on how to restore the machine back to its factory state. there is yet one more option but may be impossible for you to do. you can take that hard disk out of the machine and install it as a slave on a functional machine. then by using the functional machine you can locate and copy the hal.dll file onto the dysfunctional disk. lastly, you may want to look up via google or bing on issues pertaining to "hal.dll" gl. -- db·´¯`·...¸><)))º> DatabaseBen, Retired Professional - Systems Analyst - Database Developer - Accountancy - Veteran of the Armed Forces - Microsoft Partner - @hotmail.com ~~~~~~~~~~"share the nirvana" - dbZen > > "Belprice" <Belprice(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:13170B40-696E-49DF-9064-939AC7362E85(a)microsoft.com... > Hi All , > > I have a Advent Laptop 7109 and a few weeks ago it all went haywire and i > now can't do anything with it and all I get is a black dos screen and also I > can't get into safemode or anything.
