Ok so when I turn the pc on I cant even get to the XP logo. after the bios loads and all I get a black screen. I thought my raptor HD died.::cry:: But I was able to back it up on my brothers PC and it seemed fine.
So I ran the recovery xp disks (the 6 disks) and after I hit R and chose the drive it blue screened. Next I tried the boot disk with ntdlr,boot.ini and ntdetect.com and when booting it gave me: The root>system32\hal.dll file is missing or corrupt.
tried adding that file from another xp machine to the boot disk but it didnt work.
Now I dont know what else to do and I really dont have any cd's ect to reinstall...
BTW: I cant even get to the safe mode, last known good config screen
