The options do not appear in the boot.ini file. I created the options using the WinXP Pro CD (trying to fix the WinXP partition). Now I need to install WinXP again but I'm getting an error "cannot copy the file: msfs.sys" What should I do? Skip the file, or what?? Thanks

Hi, I had Win2000 and WinXP in an bual-boot system, but my XP partition became corrupted so now I have to install WinXP again. The problem is that I have created 3 additional booting options trying to fix the WinXP partition. The error was: "system32/hal.dll file missing or currupt" So now I would like to eliminate those other options that are useless. Does anybody now how to do this??? Thank you very much...

Hi, I have by mistake created 2 additional booting options(trying to fix a WinXP partition that was not booting) so, now I would like to remove this options since I will be installing WinXP again. How do I erase the other options so they won't appear when I boot my PC. I have 4 options in total I just want to see Win2000 and WinXP. Thanks...

I have no boot.ini in D: (which is E: in my case) I modified boot.ini for the Win2000 partition which looks similar to the one you posted but the only difference is that the boot.ini is on the C: Thanks, I guess I will have to install WinXP again!! If anything else let me know!

Sorry, the only options that work are for Win2000 and one of the options for Winxp gives me an error: ""load needed DLLs for kernel". This is my boot.ini file: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect Please help!!

Yes, sir it identified 2 Windows installs, but after that it asked me the following: [1]: C:\WINNT Add installation to boot list? (Yes/No/All): (My answer was "y") Enter Load Identifier: (My answer was "WinXP Pro") Enter OS Load Options: (At this point I was not sure what to do, so I typed "2") [2]: D:\WINDOWS (Same questions as above) I think I made a misktake in the "enter load identifier" and "enter OS load options" in the seconde case I typed "1" Now I get 4 options for booting my system but the one in [2]: D:\WINDOWS does not work I it reboots the system. And I still get the same error "/system32/hal.dll file missing or corrupt please re-install the file" Please help!!

I tried re-installing the file but it did not work! I went to the directory /system32 and I replaced the file with the one I downloaded. Are there any special steps for this?? Thanks

Thanks man!, So what do you think happen to this file?? (I have not re-installed it yet) Thanks

Hi, everyone, this is a great forum!! My question: I have a dual-boot system with Win2000 & Winxp. A few days ago I tried to log into my Winxp partition and I get an erron message: "hal.dll file is missing or corrupt please re-install file" So, I tried to look for it in the Winxp CD in order to re-installed but nothing was found. How do you re-install this file??? Thanks
