here's the problem
I am running xp home on both cdrive and d drive and I have 2 different log in screens.
I got hold of a 2nd hand hard drive(quantum fireball) from a computer that wasn't running properly so....removed the hd and put in my machine slaved to c:
when I tried booting up it came up with " cannot find hal.dll".
It then goes into aloop until I boot up using my second log on screen....
no problems. I have access to the three hd's and my cd/dvd
tried a reformat of the F: drive(the 2ndhand one) and booted again on my normal bootup....still the same it goes into a loop
disconnect the f: drive.....all boots up normally
any ideas?
at present it is sitting there disconnected
