MY COMPUTER WOULD NOT TURN ON
After trying to reinstall it in safe mode it gives me this message
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt. Windows root\system32\hal.dll. Please re-install a copy of the above file.

The HAL could be corrupt or it could be that you upgraded your CPU or motherboard and windows needs to be re-installed.
It's probably as simple as booting up to the recovery console and running 'chkdsk C: /r'

It means that you have a file missing or the file is corrupt.
What you could do is download the missing file from the internet and install it.
In your search, type in: system32 hal.dll, or simply hal.dll and download it. Then install it and it should replace the missing file.
If that doesn’t work, you may have to re-install Windows.
Hope this helps.

I have seen this problem before and lost a lot of hair trying to repair it. If you can find a free download of the needed DLL on the net without getting the "runaround" with a working computer, you still have the problem of installing it. Armed with your lagit (complete with a valid serial key) Windows install cd I would either format and reinstall windows or do a windows repair. (keep going past recovery console) and read the instructions carefully. Get your Windows updates and patches after it's up and running.
