some problems with installing windows xp


Recommended Posts

Hi if someone can help me I really would appreciate it. So thats what happend to my mini-laptop: My friend had it and he deleted by accident some partitions and then my Windows XP 2002 has stopped working [ I had ubuntu and he wanted to delete it from dual boot ].After that I couldnt open ubuntu nor Windows Xp because I had the error:Bootmgr is missing. Then I read some guides about how to install Windows Xp in a usb , I found a site and installed Windows XP Pro. with WinToFlash. Everything went fine until I realised that I couldnt install them. When I am opening my laptop it says: Please select the operation system to start:
1st, text mode setup (boot from flash again after finished)
2nd, GUI mode setupid, continue setup +1st start of Windows
---> DEBUG, in case of HAL.DLL or NTOSKRNL.EXE not found errors <---
Debug boot rDisk 1 partition 2
and etc.

When I press the first choice [1st, text mode setup (boot from flash again after finished)] there are 2 options that I can press, Leave the current file system intact <no changes> or Convert the partition to NTFS. I press the 1st choice [Leave the current file system intact <no changes>] and i get the error: Setupid had determined that drive D: is corrupted and cannot be repaired. Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press f3.

When i press the 2nd choice [GUI mode setup, continue setup +1st start of Windows] it says: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows root>\system32.hal.dll. Please re-install a copy of the above file.

And when i press the 3rd choice [---> DEBUG, in case of HAL.DLL or NTOSKRNL.EXE not found errors <---]
it says: I/0 Errore multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)BOOTSECT.DOS and then the computer freeze ...

What do I have to do to fix my netbook? I cant install an operating system with CD because there is not port to put one. PLEASE HELP

Last Known Good configuration (your most recent setting that worked)

Sorry, I do not understand what you mean. Why don't you just format your HD and install Windows from scratch?

P.S. near the end of your post you talk about the boot menu; can you boot into Safe Mode?

I dont care what I'm going to install to my netbook, windows xp/7/vista or whatever I just someone to help me out how to install it. I've transefered all the windows installation to my usb via http://wintoflash.com/home/en/ . Maybe its the usb problem? The files problem? my netbook problem? i dont know whats the problem....

I can't help as I have never set up a net-book. Can you get copies of all the drivers for it and install them first, I only say this as if your friend deleted the original OS partition you may not have access to all the drivers.

i want to know how to recover the partitions so my netbook [ i know how there are many programs that can recover them but I'm asking the way to do it ] will work or how my netbook can work without partitions or something. I can't open the pc. When my friend deleted the partitions when i started up the netbook it was saying : Bootmgr is missing and nothing else. Then i tried to install windows 7, the installation was almost fine till the problem i said before [ look my other posts ] occured. All I want is my netbook to work, nothing more . Can you suggest me something?
