Virus

HI ilko_tm Thanks, i was able to make it work by using the latest version. The version i had was not installing the grub4OS on the pendrive. this was not allowing to actually start the installation. Got the latest version whihc did the needful. Well now stuck with multi-os boot problem Hopefully will be able to resolve using the EasyBCD. I have installed WinXP on a system whihc already had Win 7 installed. Will keep ya posted Cheers!!! Virus

I just got over 1TB HDD and wish to install WIN XP. I already have one Disk which has win 7 installed, but during my install I had disabled that Disk so as it does not corrupt the MBR of that disk.. I am not being able to reach the Text Menu even. My system does boot from USB and gives the options to chose where WINDOWS is installed. After that whatever I chose I either get <WINDOWS ROOT>\...\HAL.DLL not found. My boot.ini file looks like following [boot Loader] Timeout=5 Default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS [Operating Systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="rdisk(1)partition(1)" /FASTDETECT multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(1)\WINDOWS="rdisk(2)partition(1)" /FASTDETECT c:\="-------------------------" c:\="Try entries below if getting HAL.DLL/NTOSKRNL.EXE not found errors" c:\="--------------------------" multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(3)partition(1)\WINDOWS="rdisk(3)partition(1)" /FASTDETECT multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(4)partition(1)\WINDOWS="rdisk(4)partition(1)" /FASTDETECT multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="rdisk(0)partition(1)" /FASTDETECT multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Second part of XP Professional setup from hd 1 part 1" /FASTDETECT multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Second part of XP Professional setup from hd 1 part 2" /FASTDETECT multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(3)\WINDOWS="Second part of XP Professional setup from hd 1 part 3" /FASTDETECT multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(4)\WINDOWS="Second part of XP Professional setup from hd 1 part 4" /FASTDETECT I have tried various combos regarding the DISK and Partition number but nothing seemed to work. Kindly advise what I am missing on. I used WinSetupfromUSB 0.2.2. While Installing I had only One HDD, set as my secondary HDD. Primary being the USB drive(8GB), both key and HDD are formatted as NTFS. Let me know if any other detail is required Thanks in advance.
