HAL stands for Hardware Abstraction Layer and is a system file that
should be in your windows\system32 directory. If it does not exist or is
corrupted, you will probably have to use your WinXP CD to repair your
installation.

Since you can't boot into WinXP, boot from the CDROM.

Copy hal.dll from c:\i386 to c:\windows\system32.
