You don't need a XP disc at all... Niether do you need to remove your HDD (though it is the most convenient and quickest way; otherwise you need to find a bootup disc which you can use to boot up and to reconize the installed HDD)...

What is stated on that page is that you simply need to copy the original hall.dll  from the subdirectory i386 to your system32 directory and to edit your boot.ini file to remove the corrupt line.
