jewelfire Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 OK, before I throw my other puter out the blasted window, I thought I would ask here if anyone can help... I had to perform a restore on my other puter. At the point that I get the message "Windows is loading...Please wait...", the puter thinks, then reboots and I get a... windows cannot load missing ......system32\hal.dll file please reinstall file...or something similar. I then use my recovery console and run a chkdsk /r it says is found and fixed one or more errors. I then exit and try to finish the restore at which point, after the puter tries to load windows again, reboots itself, then I get the message...NTLDR is missing...hit ctrl+alt+del to restart computer. I do this and the message keeps coming with every reboot. :shock: I tried to manually install the missing file by copying to the c: drive from the cd where it is, I also tried to copy it from a floppy that I loaded the NTLDR and NTDETIECT.COM files on but to no avail. :cry: *breathes* Any ideas? or anyway to bypass to get windows to finish loading? Oh, I also have reformatted the hard drive to try a clean restore, still get this result at the end. okay, as Biox knows, I am a bit puter illiterate, so HELP! please. I really don't want to have to buy a new puter and that one is for my business. :cry: [qfc][/qfc] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alduron Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Hi, Sorry to hear you are having trobles with your comp... being someone that has had my share of problems i can relate to the agravation such causes... Unfortunately I am no whiz when it comes to these things... I did however run a search on your error and came to this site that looked like it may be able to help you... http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000465.htm If this does not look hopeful to you then perhaps posted in the tech and computer forum http://forum.tip.it/viewforum.php?f=45 on this board will help. Good Luck! the pup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuff1 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Don't throw it out. This can be fixed. A question and a couple of things to try. Question: Which version of windows are you using (XP, 2000, Me...)? Things to try. 1: Make sure you didn't leave a floppy disk in the drive. Also remove any CD-ROM from that drive. 2: See if some mod can move this to computer support forum there are some experts there. If you did a reformat and you are still having problems try solution 1 right away. That's the easiest. Don't give up unless it's an old computer that should be replaced anyways. I won't be able to respond for a few hours. Going offline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelfire Posted October 15, 2005 Author Share Posted October 15, 2005 no floppies or cd's left in puter, that i checked on about the 10th reboot, pardon my frustration, and it is version XP. hi pup, been to that site too. (plus a few more) i'm afraid there is a prob with the driver for amdagp.sys or something along those lines, sheesh i've worked and reworked on it so much i'm getting confused [qfc][/qfc] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
