I wanted to reinstall windows on my bootcamp partition because my windows was buggy as **** and won't stop lagging (Windows XP SP2).
I put my windows installation CD in and start reinstalling windows. I choose wich partition I want to install windows on (wich is normal) then my mac restart wich is also normal. It goes to a white screen to a black screen with the blinking bar to ''press any key to boot windows XP...'', I press Space then this message appear :
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt :
<Windows root>\system32\hal.dll.
Please re-install a copy of the above file.
I'm stuck there... I tried to eject my windows CD, pop MACOSX CD in to actually boot from it and it wont work either.
I would also like to start all over again, erase my windows partition and only works with OSX because Windows is seriously weak.
Hopefully, everything has been backed up on my external HDD but I really need my computer to works so if anyone as any tips, I would really appreciate!!
Thanks alot!
