windowsroot\system32\hal.dll is missing or corrupt .__How can fix it

Listening to an audio book online, the screen went black and the sound stopped. Nothing would work. I forced a stop... nothing else I could do, and when I rebooted I got this message. I have no CD with the HP compaq nc4010 and I (was) running XP Pro

This behavior can occur if one or some of the following conditions are true:

By default in the [Boot Loader] section of the Boot.ini file is missing or invalid.

Windows XP is not installed in the location specified in the Boot.ini file.

The Ntoskrnl.exe file is missing or damaged.

The path of partition in the Boot.ini file is not set correctly.

General failure.

The article below should help you solve this problem.

Error message: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem.
