I picke dup a virus this am and message said another version of some files of windows had been found. I rebooted computer and it says I am missing a file--windowsroot>\system32\hal.dll

I have a recovery disc but I will lose my c drive. Anyway to add this file to the system?I went into safe mode-command, networking, and also restore good configeration. It only returns tot he error message.

Suggestions? Can I get my files off the pc without losing everything?
Thanks
