not sure if this will work for you but try this:

1) pop in your XP CD
2) boot to cd
3) log into into repair console
4) change directory to cd/dvd drive and go into the i386 folder
5) type 'expand -r HAL.DL_ C:\WINDOWS\system32'

you are basically unpacking the compressed 'HAL.DL_' file on the xp cd to your windows\system32\ folder.

edit: changed 'recovery' to 'repair'

you can put the name of the file on google so you can find a direct download site of the file.

Download a bootable CD, bartPE would be good, create the ISO image but add the dll file that's bad onto the image of the disc. Boot the bad computer from that disc and use the file manager to drop the dll file into the appropriate directory.

You don't need recovery console if you can download and install bartPE, and you get an explorer style interface and an easy to use file manager.
