I intensionally deleted the 'hal.dll' while cleaning up my drive and now the
boot up fails, due to a missing or corrupted hal.dll.

Q. How do I recover my system?
Click to expand...

You're a moron. Let someone else have it.
 
While I too, also respect Gerry, I think it's rather more than a little
oversight not to make sure that the information about possible
ServicePack issues over hal.dll was included in any advice about the
restoration of this file.

I am constantly being told how I'm novice / beginner / green and I
managed to include a mention of it in my post in this thread.

Surely, incomplete advice is incomplete advice, no matter how 'nice' you
are about it?

I was under the impression that the EXPAND command in RC did, in fact, include expanding from a cabinet file.

My reason for thinking this was the implication of the 'help text' of the EXPAND command when it refers to the '/F' switch expanding from a 'multiple' file source.

I have copied and pasted the output of EXPAND /? here :


Expands a compressed file.

EXPAND source [/F:filespec] [destination] [/Y]
EXPAND source [/F:filespec] /D

source Specifies the file to be expanded. May not include
wildcards.

destination Specifies the directory for the new file. Default is the
current directory.

/Y Do not prompt before overwriting an existing file.

/F:filespec If the source contains more than one file, this parameter
is required to identify the specific file(s) to be expanded.
May include wildcards.

/D Do not expand; only display a directory of the files which
are contained in the source.

The destination may be any directory within the system directories
of the current Windows installation, the root of any drive, the local
installation sources, or the cmdcons directory.

The destination cannot be removable media.

The destination file cannot be read-only. Use the ATTRIB command to remove
the read-only attribute.

EXPAND prompts if the destination file already exists unless /Y is used.


.......what do you think?
