Hal.dll continued (2)

As far as I can tell both my BIOS and XP are running on
ACPI. Here's what leads me to this conclusion.

Computer
- ACPI Uniprocessor PC
- Standard PC

BIOS - ACPI Suspend to RAM


For the ACPI Uniprocessor PC it says there are no drivers
installed, when I try to update drivers it
says that I already have the best drivers installed, then
when I view the driver details there are three

c:/windows/system32/hal.dll
c:/windows/system32/ntkrnlpa.exe
c:/windows/system32/ntoskrnl.exe

The same applies for Standard PC as well

I have a feeling this might be part of my problem.

In BIOS the option to enable/disable hal.dll was disabled
so I enabled it and still got the same
message that prevented me from booting XP without the
CD. I went back and disabled it. More input
would be greatly appreciated.

I replied to another new thread you created. Please learn to find your
previous question and follow-up to that article so that our conversation
remains in one thread.
