Thread: Cannot boot with GRUB. Windows error message.
i decided take plunge linux total noob right , still trying figure stuff out. apologize in advance.
anyways, using old desktop 2 hard drives on it. smaller primary drive using install os on. using windows xp. larger drive has media files on it. decided use computer exclusively linux deleted of partitions on smaller drive , formatted before installing ubuntu. installation went without hitch, when restart computer boot, message:
windows not start because following file missing or corrupt: <windows root>\system32\hal.dll
thought maybe there remainder of windows making happen wiped drive using dban.
reinstalled linux again , restarted computer again. got same error message.
found previous threads of people having same problem.

i not expert,by stretch of imagination,but if reading information provided correctly,it appears me xp installed on larger hard drive.are trying dual-boot?posted laoki
i decided take plunge linux total noob right , still trying figure stuff out. apologize in advance.
anyways, using old desktop 2 hard drives on it. smaller primary drive using install os on. using windows xp. larger drive has media files on it. decided use computer exclusively linux deleted of partitions on smaller drive , formatted before installing ubuntu. installation went without hitch, when restart computer boot, message:
windows not start because following file missing or corrupt: <windows root>\system32\hal.dll
thought maybe there remainder of windows making happen wiped drive using dban.
reinstalled linux again , restarted computer again. got same error message.
found previous threads of people having same problem.

i've read through them, i'm still not knowledgeable enough understand whats going on.
i've attached files should describe going on booting process. if can decipher them , explain me what's going on/how can fix it, appreciative.
