you will have to borrow a
windows cd from someone
to boot with "or"
the other option is to maybe
make a bootable cd via the
internet.
the main problem is that
you can't access the disk
system at this time
however you need to access
the disk system via a bootable
cd in order to try and replace
that corrupted system file.
subsequently, once you are
at the disk prompt >:
you can copy the hal.dll
from :
\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386
and then paste into the
windows\system32 folder
or you can find a working copy
of hal.dll on a windows cd
and paste it into the system32
folder on the hard drive.
moreover while you are at
the disk system for the above
I would also run the commands >:
fixboot
fixmbr
chkdsk /p
then exit, remove cd and
hope you can boot normally
again..
unfortunately, if however, you can
not obtain a bootable disk, then you
may want to purchase a new operating
system from the store or online
or look up the model number for
your laptop at its maker's website
for instructions or faq's on how
to restore the machine back to
its factory state.
there is yet one more option
but may be impossible for you
to do.
you can take that hard disk out
of the machine and install it as
a slave on a functional machine.
then by using the functional
machine you can locate and
copy the hal.dll file onto the
dysfunctional disk.
lastly, you may want to look
up via google or bing on
issues pertaining to "hal.dll"
