As it seems, a problem with the hal.dll file could be the root cause of the error, such as if the file has been corrupted or deleted. Another possible cause is a damaged hard drive, but in most cases we've seen, missing hal.dll errors are due to problems with the primary boot code.
How to Fix Hal dll Errors in Windows 11, 10, 8, 7 and Vista
This issue affects all editions of Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows Vista, including both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of these operating systems.
Restart your computer. Although it is unlikely, the hal.dll error could be caused by a temporary issue that can be fixed by restarting. It is worth a try.
Check the boot order in the BIOS. If your BIOS is configured to first list a different hard drive than the one your normally-used copy of Windows is installed on, that could be the problem.
