I have the <windows root>\system32\hal.dll error that will not let me boot at
all, including any safemodes. According to Microsoft, i need an XP media
center ed. disk to fix the problem, but i need the disk and my computer's mfg
will not help. How do i get my computer to boot and fix the files.
Reformating is not an option as i have some irreplaceable pictures on it that
i was not able to backup. How do i get a disk?

You will have to purchase one or borrow one, they are not available for
free.

To the OP.
If you have a Windows Me or Windows 98SE boot floppy, you may be able to
copy the files.

Your manufacturer should give you a recovery disk, up on request.

That is a possibility, but I have found most recovery kits contain
compressed images which are of no use in the OP's situation, some give the
option of a repair install, some only format and clean install.
