I don't usually get to fix computer that are still running windows me that often and when I do I usually just say go buy a new computer. This person doesn't want to do that so I must fix it. The problem is that it won't boot to windows at all. At first it came up that was missing the hal.dll file from the system 32 folder. I replaced that, restart and now it's missing ntoskrnl.exe and I don't know how to replace that. I can't do a registry restore because it won't let me. I figured that if one file was missing I knew others where going to follow. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
