Default Missing file prevents startup - hal.dll

When starting up my computer I get this error message just after the acer screen and gpu information.

<windowsroot>\system32\hal.dll is missing or corrupt. Please reinstall

(or something similar to that)

You can't go any futher than that. If you press a key the system restarts and the same happens.

I have got a disc for xp professional but reinstalling that means that I would loose all my documents wouldn't it, and these I haven't backed up.

Please help, any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. I'm thinking a system restore would be a possibilty but how do I do that without losing documents.

I have got two 160gb hardrives in there so I could leave the one with my docs and the current windows alone and reinstall xp on the other one?

HELP!?
