HI, I've been trying to install xp pro sp2 using boot camp on a macbook 2.2Ghz. It does the initial setup where i reformat the xp partition in fat32 and then when it goes to boot into the xp installer it says: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <windows root>\\system32\\hal.dll. please re-install a copy of the above file. Can any one shed any light on how I can fix this problem, much thanks in advance

    I had the same problem. Try reformatting the XP partion in NTFS. Helped for me.

    I'm afraid I can't allow you to do that, Dave.







    ...I'm sorry, I read that and I thought 2001: A Space Odyssey immediately.
