XP Boot.ini File


My XP loaded Dell Dimension PC failed to boot up last night. It said that there was no boot.ini file and that the hal.dll file was corrupted.
Long story short, I spent 2 hours working on it. I finally got a boot.ini file on the beast that would bring it back to life. My question is: How the hell does a file like this just disappear ? I did an orderly shutdown of the machine the night before with no apparant problems.
