I crashed one system that I was working on. I get this message now:
"Windows could not start becuase the following file is missing or corrupt.
<Windows root>\system32\hal.dll
Please re-install a copy of the above file."
So can I take the hard drive out, put it in my computer, and copy the hal.dll to the apropriet folder, and how. Both systems are running xp home.
I do understand how to slave the other drive, so you dont ahve to explain that.
ALSO , i do not have the original XP Home disk, as it did not come with one.
thanks for your help
OK, I copied the .dll file, i dont know what I was thinking.
now i get an error saying
load needed DLLs for kernel
is there any way toknow what to copy and where to put it?

Right-click on the file. Copy. Go to the same directory on the other drive. Right-click. Paste.
You thought there was a trick because it's a .dll file?

go to <Windows root=usually c\windows>\system32 on your pc's hard disk, copy hal.dll, go to ?\windows\system32on the failed win disk and paste it, that's it
