write a guide on it. 
But since it's a recovery CD, I don't know if it works.
Boot up the XP Recovery CD, type R to use the Recovery
Console
Then enter the administrator's password to log in.
In the Command Line, type in the following line by line. After each
line, press Enter.
[b]cd C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
copy hal.dll c:\Windows\System32
By the way, to use the Linux method, you need to use Knoppix, not
Xubuntu. Xubuntu can't do the job.[/b]
