If your only aim is to recover the data I would recommend a Linux live CD.

Main Page - Linux Mint (if you know how to burn ISO to disks) or Download | Ubuntu and follow option 2 (if you don't). Once you have booted into the CD you want to try it out and NOT install it.

Having a corrupt/missong HAL.DLL file is a real pain to fix and the easiest way to fix it is to do a new clean install (although this is not practical in many cases).

Once you recover your data using the LLCD you can then try reinstalling Windows without any worry of losing data.

If you need any more help or explanation please ask.
