hey,
i was starting up my main computer and i get a message when itis booting up:
"Windows cannot start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<windows root>\system32\hal.dll
please reinstall a copy of the file above"
i tried putting my windows disk in and when i tried the repair thing i got a command prompt or w.e, i think this is normal but i don't know what to do here, so i did the thing where you say that you want to install a new version of windows and then it detects a previous version and asks if you would like to repair it...unfortunately it doesn't seem to be finding a previous version of windows and then it cant tell that the CD is inside th drive.
any help here? or do i have to do a complete reinstall (please no on the reinstall).
regards.
ps: i think im going to try a linux distro after im done with this. very sick of windows
