hal.dll???????

Hi,
Looking for help with a further twist. I am installing XP Pro onto a Acer Aspire Revo with no cd rom and so am trying to do it from a usb. Got the instructions and tried the install to be met with the pci.sys error which thanks to this site I overcame ....... or so i thought. Ssing that i needed SP2 to deal with the pci issue I thought i'd go one better and slipstream SP3 onto my creation. Everything went swimmingly, no further pci issue and windows went all the way through the install, counted down the mins and then when it tried to reboot i got an error msg - not on the BSOD - regarding a hal.dll file being missing or corrupt. Any ideas? I went back to my original XP disc and ran a search on that but it didn't show up the missing file either. So i don't know where to see about hal.
All help greatly appreciated.
