Windows cannot boot /file corrupt or missing

[easyrider]

just turned on my main rig and got this error message

Windows cannot boot /file corrupt or missing

windows root\system32\hal.dll
Please reinstall a copy of the above file

How do I go about reinstalling this file?

Windows is on a raid 0 array on my raptors.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback.

I tried going into the recovery console but I had to install the drivers for setup to see the array again.


I tried


copy d:\i386\the name of the file c:\windows

but it didn't work I also tried.

bootcfg /rebuild and it scanned and then said please run chkdsk to scan the drives for errors.

I did and no errors where found but it said no boot sector or something couldn't be found.



so i guess a reinstall is needed and the Raid0 just failed

Thanks guys I have now learnt a bit about recovery console though so cheers
