I added a new hdd in xp and can never boot in again
Nice try everyone I have tried all these steps. And yes they are windows xp compatible. After reloading xp everything always works fine after that hal.dll error pops up when a new drive is added. On the other hand, if I remove the new drive machine will work fine even without reloading...- wes456
