Missing or Corrupt \system32\hal.dll

I am assumming there is liitle risk in losing data on my hard drive correct?

Thanks for your expert guidance. I now have another issue that I have before this one. I am getting a Run DLL error:

Error Loading C:\Windows\Hweruvijuk.dat (Saying the specified module could not be found.

What is the best way to fix that error? 

David45,

Some risk but I haven't had problems losing files and folders on a Dell computer. Doing the repair will put the Operating System ONLY back to factory. That is why you need to get the Windows Updates, again.

I cannot find the Hweruvijuk.dat on Google. It may be some type of malware. Try downloading Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, update it and do a quick scan. Let me know if it finds anything.

Bell Boy,

The Recovery Console procedure worked for me on the same "corrupt or missing hal.dll file" issue.  I did the whole bootcfg /rebuild steps and the OS booted beautifully.  However, when I power down and restart, the same problem occurs "corrupt/missing hal.dll".  Do I need to copy another hal.dll file to my \system32 directory?  My installation DVD has an older version but in the form hal.dl_?  What am I missing here?

Thanks.
