Pc frequentlyfails to boot into windows. Just before windows starts in boot
sequence, message comes up saying hal.dll file is missing or corrupted, and
advises reinstall file. When I try to reinstall this file in Recovery
Console, I get "access denied". Sometimes pc boots into windows ok, and I'm
able to use system restore to set up previously working date, after which
system works fine - for several days before the prob returns.
What's the significance of this file, and is there any effective
workaround? Some help would be appreciated. BTW it's a system32file.

Google is your friend. Do a google search on hal.dll gives lots of
information the most common appears to be a corrupt boot.ini file. Also
search Microsoft Knowledgebase.

ok Hal stand hardware abstraction layer and it allow the software to
communicate with the hardware so it is critical to your system. what
you need to do is use the MSCONFIG to extract the file from the CD and
send it to the system32 folder and that should take care of the
problem. ok you're probably wondering how you do that. here is how:
click on Start and then click on Run then type in MSCONFIG then click
on Expand File then in File to Restore type in hal.dll in Restore from
type in X:\i386\hal.dl_ (x being your cd drive) then in save file in
type C:\Windows\System32 and that should take care of it. Or another
way to do that is to click on start and then run and type in "sfc /
scannow" without the quotes. let me know whats up when its done

Google does seem helpful. I fear that one of the links there (given
below)suggests that if, having tried all the suggestions, a fresh install of
Windows doesn't fix the problem, then it's likely to be a hardware fault in
the hard drive. This in fact happened, so I'm now fearing the worst.

Done as you suggest. Pc working fine at moment. Hopefully it will stay that
way, but if it reverts to the familiar pattern, then I fear a hardware
problem as mentioned to Woody in this thread. Thanks for help.
