I have read about this problem so many times in this forum now and its always suggested and said that its your copy of winxp, so try too make a new copy and maybe that will help. There is also a file called crc.exe that you could run too check if your copy of winxp is good, but i do not know where that file is, do not think its on the winxp cd. Hope it helps some. Roltec

I get this error message when I install winxp 2600, it comes after the first reboot. Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows root>\system32\hal.dll Please re-install a copy of the file above. Does this have anything too do with my motherboard? My spec is following I have tried bios 3R and now 3R03 the same fault.

I have tried earlier beta's with XP and the same thing then. And i have disabled RAID controller in the bios, so that shouldn't have anything to say, should it?
