I would recommend popping in your Vista CD, and running a windows repair option. if you're getting a blue screen on boot, it's probably the core integretiy module that's been messed with.First make sure you can boot off of the DVD
If it's not booting beyond the BIOS (a bunch of black screens typically with white text), I might recommend getting a copy of your BIOS software and reflash it. You'd need to find out what BIOS you have first and if it's a prebuilt, you should probbably check the manufacturers website and try and find out.

What you need is bootable DVD/CD for installing or repairing Windows 7 to get missing 'bootmgr' or repair corrupted bootmgr...If there are files corrupt on your CD, you can get new one from shop you have purchased..Maybe just need to clean up your DVD/CD, so your DVD drives can read properly the files installation..
CI stands for common interface, there will be a slot on the side of your tv for a CI Module to be inserted, this allows you to view encrypted channels (such as ESPN) that you have to pay for using servces such as topup tv (uk).
It sounds like you have being trying to watch a encrypted channel without a CI Module inserted, this would most likely be the cause of the error message you are receiving.
"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."
"<Winnt_root>\System32\Hal.dll missing or corrupt: Please re-install a copy of the above file."
"Cannot find \Windows\System32\hal.dll"
"Cannot find hal.dll"
The "missing or corrupt hal.dll" error displays shortly after the computer is first started. Windows XP has not yet fully loaded when this error message appears.
CauseCauses of the "missing or corrupt hal.dll" error include, naturally, a damaged hal.dll DLL file or a hal.dll file that has been deleted or moved from its intended location.Additional causes may include a damaged or missing boot.ini file or possibly a physically damaged hard drive.
Please let me know you have any further questions or concerns.
Thanks.
Check your floppy and optical (CD/DVD) drives for media. Often
times, the "NTLDR is Missing" error will appear if your PC is trying to
boot to a non-bootable floppy disk or CD/DVD.
Note: If you find that this is the cause of your problem and it's happening a lot, you might want to consider changing the boot order in BIOS so the hard drive is listed first.
Check the hard drive and other drive settings in BIOS and
ensure they are correct. The BIOS configuration tells the computer how
to use a drive so incorrect settings can cause problems, including
NTLDR errors. There is usually an Auto setting for hard drive and optical drive configurations in BIOS which is usually a safe bet if you're not sure what to do.
Repair or replace the boot.ini file.
This will prevent the NTLDR error if the cause of the problem is a
boot.ini file that is not configured properly for your Windows XP
installation.
Open your computer's case and ensure that the cable that connects the hard drive to the motherboard
is firmly in place. If this does not resolve the issue, try replacing
the cable. NTLDR error messages could be caused by loose or
malfunctioning IDE cables.
Update your motherboard's BIOS. Occasionally, an outdated BIOS version can cause the "NTLDR is Missing" error.
Perform a repair installation of Windows XP. This type of installation should replace any missing or corrupt files. Continue troubleshooting if this does not resolve the issue.
Perform a clean installation of Windows XP.
This type of installation will completely remove Windows XP from your
PC and install it again from scratch. While this will almost certainly
resolve any NTLDR errors, it is a time consuming process due to the
fact that all of your data must be backed up and then later restored.
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.
Finally, if all else has failed, including the clean
installation from the last step, you're most likely facing a hardware
issue with your hard drive. Replace the hard drive and then perform a new installation of Windows XP.

Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 2000 users:
To restore the original boot.ini file in Microsoft Windows NT or Windows 2000 you will need an ERD and follow the below steps. If you do not have an ERD you will be unable to follow these steps.
Boot the computer with your Windows NT three setup diskettes or the Windows 2000 setup disc. In the setup menu, type R to start the repair. When prompted for the ERD diskette insert the diskette and inspect the startup environment.
Missing or corrupt ntoskrnl.exe file If the ntoskrnl.exe file is corrupt or missing this can also generate the error. To restore this file follow the below steps.

Reboot the computer, as the computer is starting you should see a message to press any key to boot from the CD. When you see this message press any key. In the Microsoft Windows XP setup menu press the R key to enter the recovery console.

error message as shown below.
OS Loader v4.01 Disk I/O error status=00000001 Windows NT could not start because the below file is missing or corrupt: winnt\system32\Ntoskrnl.exe
