I have completely wiped a pc which used to have a copy of XP Home on, i has a n unused copy of XP Pro OEM so i decided to stick it on, i booted up using the XP Pro cd and formatted all HDD's, i created a new partition and installed xp pro on it...all working OK!
but everytime i boot, it asks me what i want to boot up into...
XP Professional
or
XP Home edition
if i select pro, it boots up into pro fine..
if i select Home edition, it says "Windows could not start because the following file is either missing or corrupt:
<windows root>\system32\hal.dll
Please re-install this file and try again
is there anything i can do to stop it trying to dual boot and just boot into xp pro?
