Re: hal.dll corrupt

Why blame Microsoft? How about the manufacturers? Get the facts of each case
first. Example: One manufacturer provides instructions on recoveries and
gives instructions on creating recovery CD's.
It is not Microsoft's responsibility nor do they have authority to dictate
the shipment of the CD's.

Without the XP setup CD it is next to impossible to properly maintain a
Windows installation. That Microsoft permits manufacturers to ship
Windows computers without this essential CD speaks volumes of what
Microsoft thinks of its customers, not much!

You should be able to carry out Malke's instruction by using the setup
floppy boot disks.
