HAL.DLL is the Hardware Abstraction Layer. It defines hardware
dependent parts of the OS and is critical to the running of
windows. See here for some more info if you're interested.

I'd assume it is the copy (or lack of it) in the dest drive
that is the problem. If there was a problem with the source
copy, you wouldn't be able to boot at all. Other than making
sure that the copy in the dest is the same as the one in the
source, I really can't help. However there is a wealth of
topics available if you do a Google search using the error
message you reported. I'd suggest that you're the one that's
in the best position to search through those and work out what
is applicable to your situation.
