Cricky, I really want to ask what the heck do you do for a living (other than selling gold when you need to) but I wont!

Re: Partitioning Software


I'm the opposite. I love to sleep in in the mornings and start working a 5pm in the evening. However, the world is not very accomodating to my nocturnal ways!

I have been in a holding pattern for years waiting to go home. I don't think I am too useful here. In fact to be perfectly honest it all the junk that I own that has kept me here all these years and every year is time to get rid of it...well the time has truly come.

so the time for purging has finally come? It would be hard to move forward when you have many things weighing you down. But I still cant believe that you wouldnt be useful in the U.S. You are a bit too intelligent for me to believe that.

But if home is where you want to go then home is where you should be. What part of the island are you from? Or is that a not on the board cause there are too many eyes about the place kinda question?

You can either DL it an put it somewhere else or you can point to the Windows Vists System diretory. Does it give you an option to skip?

Re: Partitioning Software



no option to skip but I just created another virtual machine file and will delete the first one when I get the OS installed on the secondary disc.

Not that this is going to help but soemtimes I feel that I am so good even though many of the stuff that I answer i have never seen in my life just logical thinking here is part of a response that just mirrod what I first said off the top of my head:

[quote]1. Boot the computer into the Recovery Console.
2. Navigate to c:\windows\system32, and then type the following command: ren hal.dll hal.old, press Enter.
3. Now you will need to know where a copy of hal.dl_ is on your computer. It is usually in either c:\i386, or c\windows\i386. If it isn’t, it will be on the install cd in the i386 folder.
4. For the sake of this example, lets pretend it is in the c:\windows\i386 folder.
5. Now type: expand c:\windows\i386\hal.dl_ c:\windows\system32\hal.dll
6. Reboot.

oh boy

The installation is proceeding right now on the 2ndary disc I created. I should wait until it is done and if the .dll error happens again, follow your instructions? Or should I try removing the file right now?
