I ran into this issue as well. I got to the point where I could boot neither OS.
I used to be able to boot 2000, but not XP. After using your procedure below I can
boot XP but not 2000. the error complains about the hal.dll file. I am running Bootmagic
7.01. Can you offer any advice? Thanks for getting me this far.
