Hello --
I've been researching and trying to recover a Windows XP installation that won't boot because of the famous missing or corrupt hal.dll file.
I've tried many methods but the one I need to try now involves getting a copy of
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\hal.dll
from a working XP machine which has SP2.
Problem:I have all system files visible, protected operating system files visible, hidden folders and files visible ... and ... not one of my computers has the path C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles
I suspect this is because I have OEM installations of XP SP2. Yet in my research people seem to talk about it like it's always a path one can find.
Question: Can I get a kind soul to email me their C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\hal.dll
file
from their working copy of XP SP2 ?
I would be very grateful. Thanks and the place to send is jasencase _AT_ graffiti _DOT_ net
