Hi,

I am trying to install Windows XP on my machine running Windows 2000. I
wanted the computer to boot from CD ROM as I wanted to install it this way
so I could wipe the current partition. Unfortunateley the BIOS wouldnt let
me alter the boot settings - all drives were stuck on auto??? So I tried
running the Windows XP setup CD from Windows 2000 and the pc rebooted but
when I selected the option to install Windows XP I was informed that I was
missing hal.dll. So i can get back into Windows 2000 but I can't run the
Windows XP CD when I restart. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help
