I have a question about Making
Sure the Correct HAL is Installed:
I have two additional questions. 1.) I have a dual boot WinME/Win2k machine with
a Win2K installation uses the Standard Computer HAL because the mainboard bios was
not fully ACPI compliant when Win2K was first installed. I have since upgraded the
bios and want to "upgrade" the HAL to ACPI. Since machine is dual boot WinME/Win2K,
if I proceed to upgrade the Win2K HAL as described by booting from the Win2K Setup
disk, will the program upgrade the Win2K installation without disrupting the WinME
section and the dual boot function. 2.) If I want to switch (upgrade) the motherboad
maintaining the same hard drive boot disks, will the system start-up with the new
motherboard and allow me to upgrade the HAL and complete a motherboard switch without
the need to reinstall applications?
Thanks J Terry
