How to remove booting problem in windows Xp

Today when i start my system it shows Windows could not start...and invalid Boot.ini .I shut down my pc and restarted again several times but some times screen just shows a blinking cursor or message like Windows could not start...and invalid Boot.ini, Missing or corrupt HAL.DLL.

I know that this is booting problem in my Windows xp and this might be occurred because last night i added my friends hard drive to my system for data exchange.

Today i decided to repair this rather than installing a fresh copy of windows.I inserted my windows Xp setup Cd and restarted my system with the help of CD-ROM and repaired the corrupt booting files.Here is few simple steps ,you can also follow them when you have such kind of corrupt booting files.

1.Start your computer, and when you see "Press any key to boot from CD...", do so.


2.When you see "Press R to start the Recovery Console", press r .




Note:
You may be asked which installation to enter. Choose the installation you need to work on, which is usually 1 .

3.You will need to enter the administrator password for the Windows installation.

4.At the command prompt, enter: Bootcfg /Rebuild.

5. Windows will scan your hard drive looking for information. After a few minutes, you may see something like this:

Total Identified Windows Installs: 1
[1] C:\Windows
Add Installation To Boot List?


If the information correctly identifies your Windows installation, press y , and the setup CD will begin repairing your errors.

6.You will be asked to enter a load identifier. This is the name of the operating system that will appear in boot menus.
Enter: Microsoft Windows XP Professional

7.You will be prompted to "Enter OS Load Options".
Enter: /Fastdetect

8.To leave the Recovery Console and reboot the computer,
enter: exit
The computer should start normally.

your recovery console has repaired the Windows could not start...and invalid Boot.ini, Missing or corrupt HAL.DLL problem now.
