I had a blackout last night and I had just turned my computer on when the black out started and the computer turned off. When the power came back on I turned the computer on again but it said that it couldn't reboot because HAL.DLL was Missing or Corrupt Please install another copy but I don't know how to.

You may need to reformat using your Windows disk.

I have never personally done this, but
You could get a liveCD of Ubuntu (or get it on a flash drive) and download the hal.dll file from there, then put it in your system32

Or you could repair system files with the installation disk.

Boot from your XP/Vista/etc disc, enter the recovery console and type:
attrib -H -R -S c:\Boot.ini

del c:\Boot.ini

bootcfg /rebuild
enter "y" if prompted to add c:\WINDOWS to boot list
enter "/fastdetect" if prompted to define OS load options

fixboot c:

Let it do it's thing, then type exit to reboot. Chances are are that HAL.dll isn't actually damaged. Usually just fixboot c: works, but the MS knowledge base says to do it this way.
