[QUOTE="chscag, post: 736456, member: 46727"] Without getting into a long drawn out explanation of what happened.... The "boot.ini" file which resides in the root of drive c in your Boot Camp partition has either become corrupt or missing. That file is a pointer file which tells Windows where its boot files are and where the system files are located. Windows can't find "hal.dll" (it's not missing) because of the boot.ini file. You need to edit boot.ini and correct it. The boot.ini file is a hidden system file and is in plain text format. Go here for an explanation of boot.ini and its parameters: [url=http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/bootini.htm]How to Use and Edit Boot.ini in Windows XP[/url] Regards. [/QUOTE]
