I was having this same issue. After having the PC for 1 day, it went into sleep mode, and when I tried to restart it, it kept giving me the "hal.dll" error. For the last 6 days I've been trying every google remedy for this, from running the restore dvd to creating a bootable usb drive, but to no avail. I FINALLY figured out what to do to fix it! Maybe this will work for you...
1. Just deleting the partitions isnt enough. There seems to be something else missing that isnt displayed when trying to delete them.
2. I had an Acronis Disk Image boot CD that I tried in my external drive. There is a drive cleaner/partition remover on it, and I tried running that. It took about 20 minutes to completely run on both ssd drives, but after it was done, I reran the restore dvd, and everything works flawlessly now!
Its as good as the day I got it!! Hope this tip helps someone else out.
