Upon removal of a second instance of XP, my system no longer boots up: missing hal.dll file? Anyhow, I've tried the recover method, but have no idea what I set as the administrator password (must start remembering these kinda things). Anyhow, I'm thinking my only option is to simply reload windows over what's already there.
If I do this what data am I likely to lose. My documents files? MS Outlook email? Internet favorites?
Anyone have any other suggestions to help me through my stupidity
