ok i have a seagate 160gig hard drive and every time i load windows xp pro i get a error saying something is wrong with the system32\hal.dll file i have replaced file still will not laod windows. have also tried other copies of windows xp pro still does same thing
Do you get the blue screen of death? or does the error come up on the desktop when you fire it up?
well i reloaded after desktop had the blue screen with spyware written in it and has not worked since
You have spyware written in it ? Can you load in safemode ? Press f8 on start up then run a scan ?
@Hunter , one of the first things I do is Google the problem then see what helps . Not that I'm implying no one will help or Google is always the answer but it does narrow it down a bit and impresses your friends with your new found knowledge . :naughty:

Try fixing your Master Boot Record if all else fails. It might be something currupt in the MBR.

I had a problem like that due to deleting a linux partition without configuring the boot sector first. Everytime I started up, I got a system disk error. I fixed the MBR using this quick command and boom, everything was working again.
I think the HDD isn't properly formatted & partioned to begin with.

I posted a hopeful fix in Hardeware World for a like problem ? :lookaroun
Imo kill disk of some sort. Then deep format then partition. Then install XP.
