Delete the file from the C; drive and then restore it from the backup
drive and try and reboot. If that does not work then you have a
failure in your backup system. Were you doing ANYTHING else while the
backup was running, that is usually not a good idea.
I just did a search on the net for hal.dll and found this web page:

There are MANY others!
