Allright.
Before Windows XP installation my operating systems were Windows 8 and Pear OS Linux Ubuntu based.
What happened is that I was installing Windows XP over the Pear OS Linux partition and once I did I check My Computer and apparently my Windows 8 files are now on E: Instead of C: or I beleive... Also C: became the System Reserved.
And now there is NO way to boot Windows 8.
Once I try to edit the boot.ini file and select Windows 8 it says either
•"Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
C:\Windows\system32\hal.dll.
Please re-install a copy of the above file."
•"Cannot find \Windows\System32\hal.dll"
or
•"C:\Windows\System32\Hal.dll missing or corrupt:
Please re-install a copy of the above file."
Please help, I really need help because I'm starting to feel desperate, I can't simply lose my Windows 8 data!
Thanks in advance, Lucas
