I was using my laptop ( its old, Dell inspiron b120) and I closed the lid. An hour later, I opened it, the screen stayed black, like it froze, so I shut it off and when I try to start it, it keeps saying this " windows could not start because of an error in the software". Then says " please report this problem as 'load needed dlls for kernel'" what happened? I tried using a cd (iso format) to install another version of windows xp. It says no bootable device when I try the cd. I tried f8 at boot and tried safe mode, still doesn't work. What can I do. I don't really care about the data on there, so any suggestions are fine.

For nt

CAUSE

The Hal.dll and Ntoskrnl.exe files are mismatched.



RESOLUTION

Use the ERD disk and repair the installation. Choose to replace all files, and then replace only the Hal.dll and Ntoskrnl.exe files.



If you can start another installation of Windows NT on the same computer, you can expand the correct Hal.dll and Ntoskrnl.exe files from the Windows NT CD-ROM. To do so, follow these steps: 1. Boot to the working version of Windows NT.

2. Start a command prompt.

3. Change to the CD-ROM drive.

4. Change to the appropriate folder on the CD-ROM (for example, I386 for Intel-based computers).

5. Type expand hal.dl_ \system32 where is the path of the non-functioning Windows NT folder.

6. Type expand ntoskrnl.ex_ \system32.

7. Restart the computer into the other Windows NT installation.



APPLIES TO

• Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51

• Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Standard Edition

• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.51

• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Developer Edition



For Windows Server 2003



RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods: • Expand and copy the correct Hal.dll and Ntoskrnl.exe files from the Windows Server 2003 SP1 CD to the Windows Server 2003-based computer before you restore the backup.



Use the Setup.log file to determine the correct Hal.dll and Ntoskrnl.exe files to replace. The Setup.log file is located in the C:\Windows\Repair folder. There are different Hal and Ntoskrnl files that can be used, depending on the system type. The Setup.log file shows which files are installed on that specific system.

• Install Windows Server 2003 SP1 on a new disk drive before you restore the backup. Install Windows Server 2003 SP1 by using Windows Update Web site, the Microsoft Update Web site, or Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).

Sounds like you have a damaged Hard Drive in the boot sector. SpinRite by grc.com is a great problem for fixing error like this.

Then we are able to grow to be attentive to once you've an undesirable software operating which will be causing that blunders :D
