I have a 80 gig wd hd and i cant install windows (linux works fine). I get a "Error Loading Operating System Message" , I formated it about 20 times, ran chkdsk, bootcfg, fixboot, fixmbr and nothing works. I was about to return when i tried a old 10 gig i had lying around. I installed windows on the 10 gig formated the 80gig in windows and installed xp from windows it worked fine i was getting the os load option screen i log in to windows on the 80 gig then restart .When i try to select the win xp on the 80 gig i get "missing or corrupted file hal.dll" but the file is there any help?????
 
Try updating your bios to the latest version and then try to load windows xp on the 80...
