TheOldMan346, I installed from a backup CD, which is not bootable. I installed from Windows 2000, repartitioned the C: drive and installed the WIndow XP on that drive. The installation was perfect, everything was working, it rebooted fine several times. The only thing I changed was the boot.ini...

The message I am getting when I try to boot is: Windows cannot start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows Root>\system32\hal.dll Please re-install a copy of the above file. I would love to reinstall a copy of whatever file it wants me to, if it would only let me see...

WOLLUF, I can't get to the recovery console, because I cannot boot from the CD... Also that quick boot disk didn't work (the previous link from TheOldMan346)... Is there some program I can run from the CD to allow it to go into the repair console?

Crud, I tried to run NTFS DOS pro, and it can't write the files neccesary to the disk, it seems the NTSOKRNL file is a bit larger in XP then 2000, and this appears to be for 2K... well let me try that other link... sigh

TheOldMan346, Thanks! I think I actually have NTFSDOS Pro in my vast library of programs I never used ;) If I do, this will probably work. I had forgotten about the program, seeing as I have never had the need to use it...

TheOldMan346, Unfortunately, it is NTFS. I should no better! I always format my system with FAT32, why on earth did I format it with NTFS? Grrrrrrrrr...

TheOldMan346, Thank you for your reply, and yes I definitly messed up the boot.ini file. I do have a backup, but I can't even see the C: drive to put it there. :(

wolluf, Thanks, but I cannot boot from the XP CD. Unfortunately I can't find the original, and the backup CD I used to install the XP is not bootable, it would appear. The main thing I really need to do, is just get to the C: drive. If I could just get to it, I can fix this mess. I can get to...

Okay, here's the scenario. I have two hard drives, an 8Gig and a 12GIG. I installed Windows XP on my 8 GIG, which is the C: drive. And I completely reformatted the D: drive. When I started the computer it should me options for loading Windows XP, Windows 2000 advanced server or previous...

DougP,<br> <br> I just wanted to say that I am impressed at the detail you have given in response to ThornPCC's question. I have allready copied your response for my own future reference. Thank you for the great tip :)<br>

Why don't you write a routine that opens another database which has for the startup form a routine that compacts your main database. What you would actually do would be to call the other db, then close the main db.By the time the second db opened and started it's thing, the first will allready...
