I could continue using the new XP, copy over anything I need from old XP, and then delete the old XP. I put in command prompt, bootcfg /List.. http://winnthosting.com/winxp-pro/winxp-pro-no-longer-available-after-jan-31.html
CHKDSK found and corrected some errors...which I guess I really hadn't expected, since I know this clients machine and had worked on it about a year ago, rebuilt it and installed Scan automatically deleted any problems it found....

Could not read from the selected boot disk. Recovery console doesn't see a drive at all. Any ideas? To respond to some comments...
Well thanks for crashing my computer you idiot, a slow coputer is better than none at all! You can also try reloading the Recovery console and typing in chkdsk /r let it run and see if it fixes the problem. I found a website "www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?hal" that finally got my XP restarted, without losing any of my C drive. It didn't actually detail any errors though.
It gave me two XP's, but now I at least had access to down load my pics, docs, mov & music out of my C drive to hard disk. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1629578/corrupt-bcd.html As soon as I fix one problem I find another...sooo frustrating! from recovery console prompt: "expand E:\i386\ntoskrnl.ex_ C:\Windows\System32\ntoskrnl.exe" the e drivve is my cdrom drive ...response was: "unable to create file ntoskrnl.exe 0 files expanded" If I try to use the Enable I also tried bootcfg /scan...states failed to scan disks for windows installation, may be caused by corrupt file system.
Thanks for any help or advice you can give. 0 Kewlkat 7 Years Ago The error "missing hal.dll" is bcoz of boot.ini file. http://winnthosting.com/winxp-pro/winxp-pro-error-message-confused.html Try Xp restore "bootcfg\Rebuild". Load the Linux live CD, see if it will detect any data, or anything on the Actual hard Drive (make sure the Flash drive is removed) IF it does locate anything I scanned my PC's hard drive last night as it was running a bit slow on the internet and that's one of the few things I know how to do As

bones04-05-2008, 11:36 AMSorry for previous typo's. LOL! I've run chkdsk so many times now it's ridiculous.
One of a set of tools we are providing to everyone as a way of saying thank you for being a part of the community.
Now I have nothing! From there I've tried every suggestion I could find.... "c:\windows>CD System32...finds this directory but when I put in the next command of "CD hal.dll"... When Recovery Console starts, it will prompt you to enter a number corresponding to the Windows XP installation that you need to repair. I don't know what this virus was programed to do exactly, but whoever created it needs to be horse-whipped!!!
I also wondered why it was set to partition 2? Plus the geek squad to install if I can't figure it out on my own! Partition manager cant even start. http://winnthosting.com/winxp-pro/winxp-pro-after-w32-pinfi-virus.html Join over 733,556 other people just like you!

It doesn't seem to see the drive at all. Thanks for the info... If it doesnt, backup and get a new drive, its better than the headache to try to recover data later.
