Yep hate that. installed windows xp on my 250gb hard drive, copied my files on to the pc. Restarted after installing drivers, prepairing to install service pack 2. Failed to extract hal.dll.
Great. How was I supposed to know that Windows didn't support partitions over 130gb until service pack 1.
Lesson Back up what is most vital to you.
Since backing up everthing is tedious.
Unlucky with your hard drive failure.
By any chance did you overclock?
My younger brother messed around with his clocking on the aa8 duramax and it sometimes failed to recognise the hard drive(SATA), until I reduced the speed to a more sensible setting.
