Good Day
Just wanted to share my new experience.
If your Windows XP denies to start due to an error related to missing HAL.DLL, invalid Boot.ini or any other critical system boot files you can fix 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

Hi. I on numerous occasions scan this forum. This is the oldest culture undisputed to ask a topic.
How multitudinous in this forum are references progressive behind, knavish users?
Can I bank all the advice that there is?
Using internet is simple as hell. But I can tell y ou right now, it can be very hard, if you are the first time user.
So, first thing I suggest – open the Explorer, and type in the address you like.
You’ll get there really fast, it depends on your connection speed.
Good luck.
