Sounds like the boot.ini file is corrupt. Read this article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314477
Make sure when you changed the boot order you saved the setting before exiting the bios. Usually you press F10 to save before exiting. You don't replace the hal file yourself. You do a repair when you boot to the xp cd.
