Solve : Start up conflicts with Windows 98 and XP?

Answer» <html><body><p>Some time ago I tried to install WindowsXP on a computer that already had Windows 98. It wouldn't <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/let-11597" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LET">LET</a> me finish the set up, and I finally <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/gaveprinciplebuoyancy-1732612" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GAVE">GAVE</a> up and removed all the files I could find that <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/went-734459" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WENT">WENT</a> with the XP. Now when I boot up, it asks me " Which operating system I want to choose to run.......Windows XP set up, or Windows 98".........If I choose Windows 98, I can continue to log onto the computer normally. If I choose Windows XP set up, it says that a file" system32\hal.dll is missing and needs to be installed..........<br/><br/>Where can I go to install the missing file, or how can I remove the XP from my startup altogether. I tried to reformat the hard drive and it won't let me do that even..........keeps saying " Insufficient Memory".<br/><br/>I am just enjoying playing <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/around-884554" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about AROUND">AROUND</a> with some <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/old-585313" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OLD">OLD</a> hard drives to learn, and this is one of those harddrives......<br/>Click here -&gt; <a href="http://www.compphix.com/corrupthal.html">http://www.compphix.com/corrupthal.html</a><br/><br/><strong>[glb]Gizmo73[/glb]</strong> Quote</p><blockquote>Click here -&gt; <a href="http://www.compphix.com/corrupthal.html">http://www.compphix.com/corrupthal.html</a><br/><br/><strong>[glb]Gizmo73[/glb]</strong></blockquote> <br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/>Hmmmmm when I place the WindowsXP CD in the CDROM and boot up, it still just goes to the start up with the question as to whether or not to choose WindowsXP set up or Windows 98.......is there another way I can get into the BOOT.INI file and change it?<br/>On your taskbar, go to start -&gt; Run -&gt; type cmd and then press enter.<br/>In the command prompt, make sure your at C:\&gt; and type edit boot.ini and hit enter.<br/><br/>I strongly recommend backing up this file, if you make any changes to it.<br/><br/><strong>[glb]Gizmo73[/glb]</strong><br/> Quote<blockquote>On your taskbar, go to start -&gt; Run -&gt; type cmd and then press enter.<br/>In the command prompt, make sure your at C:\&gt; and type edit boot.ini and hit enter.<br/><br/>I strongly recommend backing up this file, if you make any changes to it.<br/><br/><strong>[glb]Gizmo73[/glb]</strong><br/></blockquote> <br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/>Thanks.......I will give it a try.
