missing hal.dll

[pedro.ancient]

I've installed Windows XP Embedded on a hard disk, that is the
secondary master, so i suppose that is the primary disk, on the IDE
controller 1.

In the boot.ini, i put this:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Embedded"
/fastdetect

But when i restart the computer to boot XP Embedded, i get an error
that hal.dll is missing. The primary Operative System is Windows2000.

Any ideia what can i do?

Hi Pedro

If the Image reside on the secondary master,
you should have following settings:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP

multi, disk and rdisk starts with 0,
partition with 1.
I know, little bit confusing... but thanks to IBM at this time....

Please also note, that your windows 2000 can not start a windows XP
image without a newer NTLDR file.
So please copy the builded NTLDR file into the C: root.
(overwrite the win2000 one.... ok, backup it before...)
)

Make sure the boot.ini is the same on both partitions.

It is two diferent disks, the same thing?

Make sure the boot.ini is the same on both partitions.

Make sure the boot.ini is the same on both partitions.

Make sure that the options in both are the same, yes, but possibly
changing the default. If you can change the boot order in the BIOS, then
the machine will be looking at the boot.ini on the disk you are trying
to boot from.
