so I came home one night and my computer seemed to have
restarted itself and I keep getting the error message on
start up that the "hal.dll file is missing or corrupt". I
went into the recovery counsel and tried to expand the
file from the cd to my hard drive and it keeps saying
Access Denied and I can't logon to my admistartor
passord, everytime I type LOGON in the counsel notihng
happens. I then tried bootcfg \list and it says there are
none to be listed and when I try to do bootcfg \rebuild
it says I have to run chkdsk. So I run chkdsk \r and it
runs forever and then after that I try everything else
again and nothing works...what's goin on? any help please?
