xp will not start
Hi all
Hope someone can help, please.
When I turn on my Toshiba satellite laptop it goes to the black screen and says 'file is missing or corrupt. <windows root>\system32\hal.dll. Reinstall a copy of the above file'
Seen similar problems in search, so tried tapping F8 but that didn't work also had a look at Microsofts 'help' page, alas xp disc does not come with the computer.
So is it possible to locate this file on my desktop and copy it the laptop???
Or are there any other solutions please.
Thanks for any help
