When a friend is booting his PC he recieves "missing or corrupt hal.dll"
message. I have read numerous sites on how to fix this (i.e. checking the
boot.ini file and replacing the hal.dll file).
However, when I use the Recovery Console it does not detect an installation
of Windows - apparently it should ask me for an Administrator password. When
I look for the SYSTEM32 folder it does not seem to exist. Would these
problems be caused by deleting this directory? Could a virus have done this?
Is there any way to recover his files from this before I do a re-install?
