My computer with XP won't start because the following file is missing or corrupt
Resolution
Note: If you've recently changed your boot order or recently flashed your BIOS, this may be what's causing your problem.
Note: If repairing the boot.ini does correct the hal.dll issue but the problem reappears after a reboot and
you've recently installed Internet Explorer 8 in Windows XP, uninstall
IE8. In this specific situation, IE8 could be the root cause of your
hal.dll problem.
Note:
While this will almost certainly resolve any hal.dll errors, it is a
time consuming process due to the fact that all of your data must be
backed up and then later restored.
Important: If
you can't gain access to your files to back them up, understand that
you will lose them all if you continue with a clean installation of
Windows XP.
If the drive fails any of your tests, replace the hard drive and then install a new copy of Windows XP.
For that you need winxp bootabler disk.
Tehn boot your computer with tht and go to recoverry console.
Then type in command prompt "chkdsk /r"
then press "y"
then it fixc error on harddisk.
Then after completing it restart your computer and boot with harddisk then it ok.
