Hello All,
      I have a friend pc that is running Windfows XP Media Center Edition that is missing the hal.dll file. The computer will not boot off of the recovery disk nor can I bring the system up in safe mode. 
  Most of my research says that I should fix ther boot.ini file with a recovery console. Well, the system will not run the system recovery disk. I keep getting the same error that hal.dll is missing. 
  I'm thinking abou taking the hard drive out of the freinds computer and putting in my computer as a slave and fix the problem of the missing file. Any suggestions would be appreciated of the quickest method of fixing the problem of the missing hal.dll file.
   
   
   
  Thanks!
