Dimension 9150/XPS 400 DXP051, 'missing hal.dll' error during startup

So I started receiving this error about a 6 months ago and just decided to get around to fixing my good old desktop.  Read different forums and I tried a couple of things and spent multiple hours with no luck.  Here are the details.

Error Message:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\system32\hal.dll.
Please re-install a copy of the above file.

Based on other posts I have tried to:
Re-install Windows with the original DVD which would not load, it shows (not present) in the bios
Created a boot windows USB using WinSetupFromUSB, system kept giving me the BSOD right after i get the message at the bottom "starting windows", with error code ***STOP: 0x0000007B

I think this might have to do with the bios settings but honestly I have no idea.  I keep reading that it might have to do with the RAID/SATA or IDE setting.  I know that Bios Revision A07 is my current version.  

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
