Detect HALs under WinPE (Vista) by running Batch Script

[Pelekan]

It's a lot of posts that explained how to detect HAL. Almost all of those solutions done in VB script. As well I've seen a lot of post about "problems' running VB script under WinPE. So, one day I tried to create a batch file, that allows to detect a HAL under WinPE. I did all my test under VistaPE 12 (I've used the VistaPE v.12 RC1).

Here is content of HAL_Detector.bat script:

@echo off

REM . - ACPI Multiprocessor PC:											   ACPIAPIC_MP
