Hi,

My other son went to boot his laptop up after shutting down and got the following message:

[i]windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt
<Windows Root>\system32\hal.dll.
please reinstall a copy of the above file

We have not got a copy of xp because again his laptop came preinstalled, what can I do?

Many thanks.
