Sony vaio - what is the correct HAL

I have been trying to install XP Pro on my vaio which came with XP home. Installation
kept failing and i read in one of the messages that manually choosing a HAL might
help. This did help. I have installed XP pro, but now my machine stops responding
at times and I was wondering if that could be because of the HAL i chose. I used
the A C P I HAL option during installation. How do i determine what is the appropriate
HAL for my machine ?
Also, in the BIOS settings I was not able to see the APM options. Does that mean
my machine does not support ACPI ??

The question still stands: How would you change the HAL on an XP machine? Would changing
HAL.dll suffice, or is there another method?
