Need help with my computer
    #7509210 - 10/11/07 02:56 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

Well yesterday I decided to format my harddrive. Somewhere along the line I completely messed it up and can't get anything to work.

When I start my computer up with my HD as being the first in my BIOS it lets me choose between Microsoft Windows Setup and Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition as my options. If I click setup it just says that the hal.dll is missing or corrupt and to reinstall a copy of the file. If I go into Home Edition it says there is an error and that the load needed dlls for kernel.

If I try to boot from my windows Xp disc it says Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter.

I have tried making the set of 6 windows setup discs as well as trying to get it to run another OS but nothing will work. Any suggestions?

Wow nevermind, I can't believe I spent like 8 hours trying to figure this out. I assumed the Windows Xp disc should go in the cdrom drive rather than my burning drive but I guess I was wrong.
