windows is missing hal dll

Boot your computer and then edit your roommate's boot.ini file. Boot into SafeMode if you can't get in otherwise. At the startup screen where your computer information is displayed and checked (POST), let it load and then hit F8 repeatedly and it should show you a screen giving you options on how to load up Windows.

safe

Safe mode also does not work. Any ideas on how to get this file to the laptop? Safe Mode may also be a better way of doing it.

hal.dll

Hal.dll on system 32 is now renamed hal.bbb and shows about 102 MB when the file should show 105 MB. So I am quite confident that it is in fact corrupt. Hal.dll is located in system32, not master boot record. If you ask windows to do Fixmbr, all it will do is put ntldr into MBR and ruin the only OS left, then if you repair it with a live CD there still won't be any changes made to the system32 folder.

luck

Luckily, it was just Windows on it. Luckily, back in March, when I rebuilt my computer with all sorts of new equipment - I used a RAID set up. I proceeded to boot my system with the mirrored drive - to which my system promptly told me that both arrays were degraded.

everything

Everything works sweet on my setup except for safe mode. I was trying to remove an old printer driver through safe mode when i realised safe mode no longer works, I am just met with the hal.dll is missing or corrupt stuff. Everything seems to be recognized, and I'm formatting as we speak. I don't have to do anything special to the RAID 0 array, correct?
