Loading ...Suppose you have reconfigured your partitions using Partition Magic or GPart.
Suppose you delete partition #1 and your Windows starts from partition #2.
When you will reboot 99% you will get a:
windows root\system32\hal.dll is missing or corrupt, please re-install
error message.
The problem is that the partition number for the Windows Boot entry in BOOT.INI is wrong and you have to fix it.
NO PANIC, here’s what to do:
- Insert your Windows XP CD and boot from it
- Wait the option menu and choose R for Repair pressing R key
- Select the installation to repair (maybe #1)
- type bootcfg /REBUILD giving a name and blank options
- reboot from HD
