hal.dll mising

Had this problem a few times when booting up. Wont boot because it says this file is missing or corrupted, the later been more obvious as its in the system32 folder.

I have to boot up on my other drive using my main drive as a slave, then copy the hal.dll folder to the boot drive to other drive and overwrite it. All is good, works fine and reboots on the main drive. Problem being this has happened 3 times since Saturday now, aid rather know why this file is going **** up. Its a new agility 3 drive, new install of windows 7 that was installed on saturday.

I don't know if you have a Dell, but, this is what dell tell their customers.

Though it says XP and Vista, Win 7 should have been included.
