I'm posting it here because it has connection to HPC. Windows will not start up, saying that "<Windows root>\system32\hal.dll is missing or corrupt." Then it states I need to re-install that file. I've heard I can fix this by re-installing XP, but I don't want to do that yet without knowing if it will erase my data (including Halo!). And I'm on a different computer, so I'm not faking it.
