If this is fixable here at home,,
could someone please explain it to me "as if i were 6 years old" so I CAN get this fixed?
Ive already posted the original problem i had-
"'System Fix' VIRUS infected my HP desktop"
Long story short-
I cant even open my Windows now
"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"
-is what i get.
I cant even run my RECOVERY CD to reformat.
I get the above mentioned statement on the PC screen.
