Intended For Windows XP Windows 2000

Have you tried upgrading your motherboard (while keeping your hard disk intact), only to find that Windows won't start? The problem is your HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) - you'll have to reinstall Windows to specify a new one

The HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) is a set of drivers, upon which the Windows NT kernel is based. If the installed HAL is incorrect, you may have a problem ranging from certain settings not working (such as APM) to Windows not starting at all. Note that the concept of a HAL doesn't apply to Windows 95, 98, and Me.

• Boot off your Windows 2000 or XP CD.
• When asked if you want to install or repair your current installation, choose Install.
• Then, follow the steps to upgrade Windows (even though you're not technically upgrading, you are updating your HAL).
• That should do it!
