I had a backup machine that I inadvently installed 2 copies of Win Home XP
on. I decided to clean things up, and now have a problem. I installed SP2,
and removed the 2nd version based on an article I found in the Knowledge
Base. Lastly, I edited the Boot.ini according to the instructions. When I
reboot my machine I get the following error at the DOS prompt:
<Windows Root>\system32\hal.dll is missing or corrupt.

I made a boot diskette on my main machine and copied hal.dll onto it. I can
boot from the diskette, but the C Drive isn't there (DOS won't let me change
to it, nor can I copy the missing DLL).

Unfortunately, I don't remember enough about DOS to go beyond this step. Can
anybody help me. Thanks, Steve
