Error during Windows Reinstallation Hal.dll missing?!?!

by aprules13 . Updated 16 years, 11 months ago

I was reinstalling windows to speed my computer back up. All was fine until my computer restarted. Right before it was about to start the Windows XP installation it gave me an error like Couldn’t find Hal.dll in my system32 files.So I restarted my computer and searched for HAL.DLL in system32 sure enough it was there. Ive been looking around but it seems people are only getting this error when starting up there computer not when they Reinstall windows. Anything regarding a fix too that involves boot.ini issues. I checked for this file just incase it applied too my situation oddly enough only a backup was found. Im not sure that this applies but I thought I’d include that. Anyone with any ideas on how too fix my Error please post here! I would be very grateful. And please consider I’m still young and kind of unfamiliar with how windows work so it would probably be better to explain the fix is a Noob manner if you will.
