Good Evening:
I have a Compaq Presario, S4100NX with Windows XP Home. In trying to
peform a factory restore [following incomplete instructions to my dismay] I
evidently performed a dual boot accidentally. Now I get an error that
hal.dll is missing or corrupt <Windows root>\system32\hal.dll.
I have downloaded a zipped file of hal.dll and the boot disk files. But
how do I get the hal.dll file onto the computer when it cannot be accessed?
I tried turning on the computer with the boot disk [CD] in the drive but
still get the error message.
How do I get to the DOS prompt to possibly install these files? Thank You
for any and all assistance/suggestions provided to rectify this situation.
