Can't install new system drive (hal.dll error)

T

Tim Hurley

Running XP Home sp3. My C: drive (WD 80 Gig SATA) is getting crowded so I
bought a new Seagate
SATA 500. I have cloned the old drive to the new drive first
using Ghost 9 then XXCLONE then Acronis TI all of which resulted in the
hal.dll error after
I shut down, pulled the data cable from the old drive and rebooted. Have
also tried it using Ghost full backup. Same result. Talking to computer
savvy people confirms that this is common, but no one has come up with a fix
yet.

Any ideas?
