NB it is a gen valid copy of Win XP and was previously registered and running.

I replaced the hal.dll from the recovery console, restarted, no go. I checked and the file was there and copied correctly as the one from the cd was smaller in size. The error message persisted. Restored all the boot files, Checked boot.ini, even ran fixboot etc, still no go. Proceeded to reinstall xp as the D-Partition retained all my data files. It got to the end 99% and recieved an error that it couldnt load ntdetect.com and after that ntldr. So tried a backup winxp install disk, no change. Ran the bios hd diagnostic program, that stuck on "0% done" for about 30 minutes. I am convinced that the 2 year old 80gig hd has crashed permanently but cant be sure.

The only thing that comes up is Invalid boot.INI Booting from C:/WINDOWS (nothing else) Then goes to the safe mode, start windows normally screen. Tried putting in the setup CD. Never recognizes it. It just keeps restarting and goes directly to the safe mode screen. Can't go to any other command prompt screens either. Any Suggestions? I have this problem.

Any Suggestions?
