Help me plz!



My computer is in good condition with Windows XP Professional Service Pack
2(updated from Internet) NTFS
My friend unplugged my HDD SATA Segate(contains my WinXP) and plugged his
HDD to test if his HDD worked. Then he re-installed my HDD and when I
restarted and it appeared the error message :
Windows could
not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<windows root>\system32\hal.dll.
Please re-install or copy the above file.

What should I do now...friends!
