    What OS?
    Did you try reinstalling file from CD?
    Or http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?hal

    Before you install, google more.
    This is an important file and you don't wanna break something

    try booting your xp disk and and choose recovery console.
    type the number of your installation when prompted ( usually 1)
    type the administrator password
    type chkdsk
    or chkdsk /p
    type exit when finished.

    That file tells windows what hardware is installed. Have you installed anything new recently? cause the driver may be the cause. Anyway you can restore it using system restore.

    To use system restore follow this guide

    Once you get into system restore you will get a dos box (black screen) follow the guide below for instructions on the commands to restore the file.

    To restore the hal.dll system files use this guide

    Let us know how it goes.

    You could always just reinstall the OS over itself. That way you still keep all your files, the OS system files will be reverted to the originals. Once finished you should run any updates.
