I would try that but I can't access the original Windows directories.
Including any directories created by Windows install such as My
Documents. I get an access denied or a drive not formatted message. /g

Glenda,
You can try replacing the HAL from the recovery console (or any boot
disk and the OS CD) - just expand it into the original location - you
can first rename the old one to hal.bad if you want but you don't need
to.
Good luck,
Mark

Hi All.
Thanks for everyone trying to help with this. Thought I'd get y'all
caught up.
The problem
HP System w/Maxtor 40gb HD inexplicably booted w/invalid or missing
NTOSKRNL.exe error. =3D20
Actions
Suspecting a virus, ran Symantec AV software - No virus.
Put the suspect HD in a good system but could not access any files or
directories related to user profiles. Edited Boot.ini, increased the
partition by 1.=3D20 Attempted booting again in the original system. Got
an invalid or missing HAL.dll Back in the working system, ran CHKDSK /r.
After 4 hours, got a message saying 1 or more bad sectors. Downloaded &
am currently running Runtime Data Recover software. It's been about 30
hours and only 18% read. What I can see of the log isn't promising. The
next step, if this doesn't help, is to send the HD off to a recovery
service and see if they can rescue some of this very nice family's
mementos.
I really hate the idea that they stand to lose all their irreplaceable
family records.
...sigh. /g
