Some time ago I tried to install WindowsXP on a computer that already had Windows 98. It wouldn't let me finish the set up, and I finally gave up and removed all the files I could find that went with the XP. Now when I boot up, it asks me " Which operating system I want to choose to run.......Windows XP set up, or Windows 98".........If I choose Windows 98, I can continue to log onto the computer normally. If I choose Windows XP set up, it says that a file" <Windows root>system32\hal.dll is missing and needs to be installed..........
Where can I go to install the missing file, or how can I remove the XP from my startup altogether. I tried to reformat the hard drive and it won't let me do that even..........keeps saying " Insufficient Memory".
I am just enjoying playing around with some old hard drives to learn, and this is one of those harddrives......
