Hal.dll is missing in windows XP?

While my computer was starting up, I entered into the Partion Recovery by accident. While trying to move the pointer I managed to start the Partion Recovery, which was going to screw up and misplace my files.
Now I got the Hal.dll error, and I haven't been able to boot up for 2 weeks since. What can I do now?

Write down what files are missing and where they are.

Boot off of your windows CD, then boot into the recovery console.

Choose your C: and type in the admin password.

type:
expand d:\i386\hal.dl_ c:\windows\system32
I am assuming it needs to go in the c:\windows\system32 folder on that one. If it doesnt need to go there, change the path to the correct one.

If it happens to the NTLDR.dll as well, do the same thing but change the first one to d:\i386\ntldr.dl_
