Workstation NT4.0 will not boot.I need to replace the
HAL.dll file. How can I access the NTFS files using a DOS
prompt?

Alternatively, do a parallel install of NT on the system, or it might even
be easier to just pop the HD into another computer and copy it there.

The only program I've found that will write NTFS disks from a DOS
prompt is "ntfdos" from sysinternals. They have a freeware for read
only, but I think you need to write.

Your other option is the freeware "Bart's PE Builder". It will create
a bootable CD that can read/write NTFS volumes.
