Okay so I just got my MBP today and everything has been great. I decided to give xp installation a go. So I've installed bootcamp and finished installing xp, or at least I think.

When my MBP trys to boot it gives me the following:

Windows could not start because the following file is mission or corrupt: <Windows root>\system32\hal.dll.
Please re-install a copy of the above file.


Anybody know how I do this? I'm a complete noob with installing xp and computers so be kind and help me out!




Another problem! I posted the new problem below!

Okay now I got a new problem :(

I decided to try and get rid of bootcamp/xp and just wait for a real release. Somehow though I deleted my OSX and can't get back in there. I've hold the options button to get the the menu but all I see is windows in the place of the OSX hard drive thing.

Anybody know how I can get OSX back?
