    Lost my Heard Drives After messing with boot.ini

    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...

    Lost my Heard Drives After messing with 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...

    Lost my Heard Drives After messing with boot.ini

    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, 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. :(

    Lost my Heard Drives After messing with boot.ini

    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...
