I have a few questions, inter-related I guess.
I have an old XP Home installation on the second partition of my hard drive
(computer is a 4 year old Acer laptop, 30GB HD, 2 partitions factory
created). This installation, when I try to boot (very rarely), I get the
hal.dll is missing/corrupt message.
My main installation, on the primary partition, is XP Professional.
I want to remove the old XP Home installation from my partition. I no longer
have the disk (it came with a different computer, and was lost), and don't
imagine I can use the recover console on the Pro disk. How can I remove the
Home version, without formatting my partition (I have a lot of programs
installed there due to small size of hard drive), and is it possible to do so
with corrupt/missing hal.dll? I have no access at all to this install.
I hope someone can help. Thanks
