My Packard Bell was unable to boot one day, with error msg, "Window was unable to load due to hardware or software changes recently" (something like that). I used a second hard disk to boot the system cos i have misplaced my recovery disc and also not to erase my data. Now that everything running ok except that whenever i opened my old hard disk, it still cant boot but with different error msg, " <window root> /system32/hal.dll is missing, please re-install a copy of it." Can anyone please help me to deal with this? Many thanks
