I am running XP on a 2004 Dell Machine. Last night I turned on the computer
and it went to a black DOS type screen and gave this message:
Windows could not start because the following file is messing or corrupt:
<windows root>\system32\hal.dll.
Please re-install a copy of the above file
So.....what can I do? it just goes back to a black screen. How can I
fix the problem and If I cant fix it, I just want to get my files off the
hard drive (docs, pictures, mp3, etc) then get a new computor. Can I
retrieve files off the hard drive somehow?
