thx wimb, you're the best! In fact it was the wrong rdisk-value due to usb-hdd! Installation worked fine. thank you so much!

i've got the same hal.dll problem when entering the gui mode after textmode. I did everything like it is described in the how-to, also carfully paid attention to set the right boot-order, to manually choose the usb-drive when booting every time. i also created only one partition (ntfs) and it's everything ok with the boot.ini... the only thing i discovered is that the bios (phoenix trustedcore) of my brandnew samsung nc-10 automatically detects the usb-stick as an usb-hdd and there is no possibility to set the hhd0- and hdd1-thing. I'm only able to change the boot order (so hdd befor usb-hdd?!). Is this the problem in combination with the boot.ini, like wimb described above #9 ? Is there any possibility to fix it? thx tobey
