Need disc to fix hal.dll error w/o wiping out hard drive
Posted by James Brown on September 13th, 2003


How does one go about getting and using disc with home xp
files since my laptop only has the 4 Hewlett Packard
recovery discs which will basically also wipe out my hard
drive help please thanks

Yes, that's the "Catch22" of recovery disks. If you're in a mess, those
disks can put your system back in factory fresh condition but will wipe your
drive. The only alternative is to purchase a retail version though you
might be able to get the disk through HP.
