To switch from Standard PC HAL to ACPI HAL this is what I did using Windows XP.  
Find the latest copy of halacpi.dll on your system.  It may be in the ServicePack 
or Driver cache directory. 

1) Boot to recovery console
2) rename the \windows\system32\hal.dll to hal.bak
3) copy halacpi.dll to \windows\system32\hal.dll
4) restart Windows
    If all goes well, the ACPI HAL will load and all drivers will
get re-installed.
    If something goes wrong, (this didn't happen to me)
boot to recovery console and restore the original hal.dll
