Hi, I got windows xp, system = inspiron 6000, Bios = A09, Pentium M, 512 MB.
I keep get the error 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.
I tried partically everything but I still can't get it to work.
Then I tried to re-install the XP cd but the laptop won't read it.
I have a lot of important files on the computer which i really need to get to but can't
Please Help, What should I do?
