This particular link doesn't really address your issues. Your problem is that the
HAL files are damaged or not referenced correctly. This can happen for many reasons.
To boot from your CD you must enter the BIOS setup screen when you computer boots
(your computer or motherboard manual should tell you how) and specify to boot from
the CD ROM first. Once you can boot from the CD, you can choose the repair option.
If the repair option doesn't fix the problem, most of the time you will have to
reinstall windows. Unless you have stored your files and data on a separate drive
or partition you could lose them. Good Luck! C K
