Hi Folks!

Just wanted to share my new experience.

If your system fails to start due to an error corresponding to lost HAL.DLL, invalid Boot.ini or any other critical system boot files you can repair this by using the XP installation CD. Just boot from your XP Setup CD and enter the Recovery Console. Then launch "attrib -H -R -S" on the C:\Boot.ini file and delete it. Launch "Bootcfg /Rebuild" and then Fixboot

Cheers,
Carl

Since this is a SQL Server forum and your post isn't related to SQL Server, I'm going to move the thread.
