Need help with win xp setup
LockedI have an amd 1.6 gig duron with 256 ddr ram and 60 gig hard drive, I had a problem with win xp freezing up in me when I tried to boot up. So I tried to do a clean install. I fdisk the hard drive and formatted it .then I tried the new install but an error came up it said “halacpi.dll could not load.setup cannot continue. etc etc, ” so i tried to go in and set it up with six floppies from the win xp boot disc files that i gotr off the internet still it wouldnt load. I alco tried to boot from the cd and it gave me the set up screen but without a menu {might as well been the blue screen of death for all it was worth, since all it said was windows xp setup and nothing else.
can you help me get xp loaded on my computer . thanks. by the way, I even used a win 98 startup disc to get assistance from the cd rom , it began to work but would load fully because of that Hal.dll error.
