I have a question about the Windows XP install. Ran setup on XP upgrade CD.
The install process began. After 15 or so minutes before it started to copy files, the PC after reboot, stopped installation with a message that said that the file hal.dll in the System 32 is missing or corrupt. After that the PC was restored back to WIN98. I looked for the hal.dll and it was not on WIN98\System32\ directory. Soooo..........I copied the file from the XP CD, which was called hal.dl_ and changed the name to hal.dll and put it in the WINDOWS\system32 directory and changed to not have it hidden. Should this do the trick to be able to start the install again? Any XP fans out there please tell me if this could work. It talks a long time to sit and do this install, over a hour to complete, so I wonder if I am wasting time using this logic. Oh, when I reboot the WIN98 with the hal dynamic link in the system 32 directory, the PC booted fine in the win 98 environment.
