When wanting to fix the root 32 hal.dll from the xp cd which in this instance

before booting in recovery mode????
Depends on the Recovery Disk.
For some computer brands, the recovery disk will only reformat and rebuild to factory state. If so,
you better backup all your data because it will all be gone when the recovery is done.
For some other computer brands, the recovery disk gives the option for a non-destructive rebuild.
In this case, yes you should have a backup of your data, but if you cannot backup, you can try and
hope nothing goes wrong.
