My 1st image restore fails to boot correctly
Posted: Sun May 26, 2013 5:44 am
I mostly use xp Pro and due to recent loss of some admin proivleges I decided to install win 7, with help from here I could get that set up on a hdd and recently also on the main boot drive, ssd. I wanted to install an image of my xp from before admin rights trouble, also on the ssd but here is where I'm having trouble.
The message I get is : windows root\system32\hal.dll is missing or corrupted.
Any adice would be appreciated.
Not BootIt area, but while I'm here any thoughts on how to regain my admin rights would be wonderful. I now can't install new printer driver or update Adobe AIR. My account is the only account, thus no password, etc, Guest is off.
Oh yeah, I know I can use my BING disk to install old images, but I thought I read somewhere that I can also convert them to Bare Metal standard. Is this correct and if so how ? Sorry for so many questions. I but my pc shuts down after approx an hour, whether in windows or IFDOS, so installs can't take too long. Actually copying my images to hdd would presumably speed things up, but copying with windows doesn't work and I don't know how else to do it. Again any advice welcome.
