I get this message (invalid boot ini) when i start up windows. And then it goes to a new screen saying (Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt. Windows root\system32\hal.dll. Please re-install a copy of the above file.) And it keeps restarting when i hit any key. my question is, how can i fix this problem with back up cds or my windows xp cd or any windows cd?
