    Hi all,

    I have done a GOOGLE check to track down a sys32\hal.dll file...no luck.

    I have had Win XP Home and Win98 both running on seperate DRIVES...NO PROBS until I utilised a multi boot software utility....forgot the name of it......I then botched and compounded the problem.

    Now if I connect the 98 I get this message......Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt <Windows root> system32\hal.dll

    Goggle brought me to another posting with a similiar enquiry but no answers.

    Hopefully someone out there can help.

    Thanks in advance.
