Missing or Corrupt: hal.dll file

Question

OK, I have a missing or corrupt hal.dll file and instructions to reinstall the file.  Problem is, how do I get the computer to a point where I can reinstall it.  The computer basically stops at the message with an otherwise blank screen.  I tried putting an operating system CD (WinXP Home edition) which is what I have installed on this comptuer.  The CD does run on the boot-up but nothing happens.  I'm basically left with a screen with no options to move on from here.
