It certainly isn't impossible. I did it a few days ago.

It isn't even that hard and is documented on the internet in various places. 
Basically, what I did was:

. find the acpi hal (on CD or from another machine) and copy it to your 
'Standard PC' machine and call it c:\windows\system32\hal_xxx.dll
. create a new boot.ini entry the same as the others but with /HAL=hal_xxx.dll 
added
. reboot and select the new boot.ini entry - this selects the ACPI hal on a 
temporary basis.
. update the hal driver to the ACPI hal using device manager
. reboot
. make sure you backup your system first :)
