O.P. Missing or corrupted HAL.DLL
I cloned my main drive (250Gb) to a 2nd internal drive (320Gb). The 2nd internal has 2 partitions: 237Gb and 60.5Gb. I chose the 237Gb partition as destination for the cloning, of course I set it as Primary, Active to make it bootable.So when I try to boot my system with the cloned disk as main drive the PC even before the Windows logo starts stops with the following message:
WINDOWS COULD NOT START BECAUSE THE FILE HAL.DLL IN WINDOWS/SYSTEM32 IS MISSING OR CORRUPT. REINSTALL THIS FILE TO START WINDOWS
I checked the Win32 folder in the cloned disk and the hal.dll file is there.
Can anyone suggest a fix or explain what's happenning?
Thanks
(I used Ghost10 to clone the disk)
