HELP - OS Selector has screwed the Machine

Hi All

Installed Disk Director V9 - along with OS Selector

On Reboot it would not load the OS

Client ran the fix mbr floppy - now getting errors relating to missing HAL.DLL.

Tried booting from CD but there is no windows directory etc

Removed harddrive - placed in new PC and the Prog Files, Windows and Docs and Seetings folders are all in a hidden sub directory called BOOTWIZ.

How do I make this PC bootable again? This is urgent as client is waiting for a fix - tried emailing ACRONIS support but no response so far

 

You can try to boot your computer up with ADD Bootable media and reactivate OS Selector...

The information regarding HAL.DLL can be found in Microsoft Support base...

 

If that doesn't work - uninstall Acronis OSS using ADD bootable Media disk and fixmbr AND bootcfg using Windows XP recovery console as per these instructions:
