When i try to boot my computer i get an error saying that it can't find hal.dll
What should i do? can i replece this file? this is very urgent
HAL stands for Hardware Abstraction Layer and is a system file that
should be in your windows\system32 directory. If it does not exist or is
corrupted, you will probably have to use your WinXP CD to repair your
installation.
Since you can't boot into WinXP, boot from the CDROM.
