My pc will not startup and run normally. I receive a message on power up "that windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt <windows root>/system 32 hal.dll please re-install a copy of the above file".
I made an ms-dos startup disk from another PC. I put the floppy in the tainted pc and now have an c:\> prompt, but I have no idea what to do next, please advise.
