Default Missing file prevents startup - hal.dll
When starting up my computer I get this error message just after the acer screen and gpu information.

\system32\hal.dll is missing or corrupt. Please reinstall

(or something similar to that)

You can't go any futher than that. If you press a key the system restarts and the same happens.

I have got a disc for xp professional but reinstalling that means that I would loose all my documents wouldn't it, and these I haven't backed up.

Please help, any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. I'm thinking a system restore would be a possibilty but how do I do that without losing documents.

I have got two 160gb hardrives in there so I could leave the one with my docs and the current windows alone and reinstall xp on the other one?

HELP!?
