Win XP/CMOS Battery replaced/Disk confusion
Replaced CMOS battery to find 'hal.dll' not found. Recovery console enabled my dual boot W200 to be re-instated (thank the Lord!) and I found that the disk assignment had changed. Although Disk management still shows the correct numbering, boot ini had to be changed 'cos rdisk(1) part(2) - the XP OS partition now has to be rdisk(3) part (2). I cannot understand how I can get 2 different allocations? Anyway, XP now running with multi-boot re-establ;ished. Can anyone explain?
