October 23, 200421 yr Got the following message tonight and have been unable to boot into XP Pro - "<windows root>\system32\hal.dll is missing or corrupt" Tried booting from the XP disk but I do not have the repair function listed which most of the sites are telling me is the usual fix. Any ideas?Running XP Pro with SP2Cheers, Rob
