HI

2 dynamic disks in windows XP. Small boot sector to start things off which then choses which OS to load. I have created a striped volume on which i have restored a working OS (XP) into. When i try to boot it says cant find HAL.dll in the system32 directory. It is there. In the boot.ini file where should it point. I have tried putting the partition number for both sides of the stripe but no joy.

So am i doing it wrong or is it not possible?

thanks
joe
