Icedrake Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I was helping out a friend today, and he had a notebook which didn't have a CD drive, and when he tried to boot his computer, an error message came up saying he was missing a file called hal.dll. Couldn't find any method to fix it online, and I was wondering how to reinstall XP on to his notebook, since he didn't have a CD drive. Then I came upon this site, and followed the instructions to make a bootable USB drive that can install XP. And it worked! Now his computer is fixed and everything's working. So I just decided to post the link I found here, because it might help some other person sometime, and considering how long it took for me to find this site, it'll be easier to find too.

Moderators Andavari Posted July 1, 2009 Moderators Share Posted July 1, 2009 I was helping out a friend today, and he had a notebook which didn't have a CD drive I just looked at a Sony and Dell mini-notebook at Staples the other day and didn't realize they probably wouldn't have an optical drive. The Sony was so over priced though, so much that I could get a full sized laptop or desktop computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
