Guys, I have a strange problem. When I start my PC it shows that hal.dll file is corrupted. I thought it was a genuine issue and tried to restore boot.ini, but when got to the recovery panel, only system installed is WIndows on D drive. It was C drive before, so looks like suddenly system swapped partition letters When browsing those drive they simply swapped - system is on D and storage partition is C. How can I swap them back?
How are the partitions configured? Are they on more than one disk? What position on the disk are they and are there any other partitions?
Both on same disc, just one in the PC. It is primary system one (C) and secondary logical D - well, now other way around It's an old IDE disc, it simply happened after turning the PC on after a day. bootcfg cannot find installed systems. first when starts recovery option, I got to choose only one D: Windows system. Cannot find boot.ini, bootcfg doesn't work....
Which version of windows are you using? I'm guessing XP? I thought boot sectors didn't use the letter labels to locate the disks in the first place, maybe you could repair the boot record etc and see if it works.
