Foolishly, I imaged the individual partitions, not the entire drive. That meant that my system was unbootable. For my primary OS (Linux), that was no problem as I could simply re-run GRUB. However Windows XP remains unbootable. The machine in question is a http://superuser.com/questions/428209/how-can-i-make-windows-xp-bootable-again netbook which doesn't have a CD drive or a restore partition, so I can't boot from a Windows CD and run fixmbr. How can I fix Windows? Here's a picture of what I see when I try to boot Windows from the GRUB menu: I don't actually have an XP CD, since of my two machines, the netbook in question has neither a restore partition nor a CD, and my other XP machine only came with a restore partition. So I'll also need a way to get hold of the necessary files. windows-xp boot ntldr share|improve this question edited Sep 19 '12 at 15:38 asked May 24 '12 at 4:08 Scott Severance 2751419 2 You can use this [tutorial]( tinyempire.com/notes/ntldrismissing.htm). Sorry I can't post it as answer because I am on mobile ATM. You can make usb bootable and can fix missing ntldr. –avirk May 24 '12 at 7:37 @avirk: Thanks. You've answered most of my question. If you post it as an answer ,I'll accept it. Unfortunately, in the process ,I managed to seriously damage my main system, so until I can recover from that, I won't be working on this issue. –Scott Severance May 24 '12 at 21:15
missing or corrupt: \system32\hal.dll" Are you having a missing hal.dll error after installing xp from a USB flash drive made by WinToFlash??? The solutions I found didn't work or were too http://bblising.blogspot.com/2011/10/wintoflash-missing-or-corrupt-haldll.html complicated. If you get the error below, all you need to do is boot from the same USB flash drive again. When the splash screen appears, just select the http://forums.hexus.net/help-quick-relief-tech-headaches/80577-ntldr-corrupt-system-cannot-boot.html option below the DEBUG option (DEBUG is the third option, so select the fourth). No need to edit the boot.ini for now, you could do it later when you can error accessing use windows already. NOTE: If the fourth option doesn't work, try the other options BUT remember their partition number. The partition number is the number enclosed by parenthesis after the word partition in the option label.
