so my os does not boot up due a missing hal.dll file (2nd time), i forget which one. So i tried to reformat and it is stuck on the blue screen and at the bottom it says:
"Examining 238473 MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on nvatabus..."
this leads me to believe that my harddrive with the OS installed on it is dying. Then a bsod pops up DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I google around and the problems are software and possible memory trouble? I doubt it's software because it's in the middle of a reformat.
Currently running memtest. Any advice?
