    hi. i'm prettysure its been written before but i'm lazy and didnt want to look through all 313 pages of threads for it. my computer wont start it says "cannot start because <windows root>\system 32\hal.dll file missing or corrupt" i tried putting in the xp disk and going to the repair screen, i typed "bootcfg /rebuild" and it says it cant, so i did the chkdsk and it told me there was a problem "no sh*t" i thought. i tried installing xp again but it wouldnt let me "tell it to install previous partitioning" it wouldnt let me keep the previous stuff and i want tokeep the files i had on it. can you help me? i really am an idiot with computers.

    dah! i just tried those, it says the file cannot be opened, and then it cant be expanded. any other ideas? or should i just take the L and setup windows xp again and lose all my files?
