ok I have been reading alot of the topics on missing hal.dll and most of them tell me that all u have to do is reboot from XP cd but I can not get cd rom to work, which means that for some reason my pc will not reboot from cd in order to fix the hal.dll---- can someone please help me figure out how to get this problem fixed

you likely need to alter the boot order in bios to check the cd-rom first.

This is accomplished by pressing the f1, f2, or del key (usually), and then using your keyboard cursor (<>^) keys to navigate to the appropriate setting

can you not get the cdrom to work in windows? or have you tried to boot from it and it didn't work? just because it doesnt work in windows doesnt mean it wont work when booting (probably because of your hand hal.dll error)

ok i have done that already went into bios and made sure that boot from cd was the first one but that did not work either!!!!!!!!!!

[dsenette]

What kind of system?

Have you tried a different CD? Since you have the boot order set, my only thought is that the cd's boot sector is non-existent or damaged.

That is why I asked what CD you are using to try and boot from.
