Subject  :  XXclone destination drive Failure????
Size(KB) :  1



Hi All,
Beta Test Ref No: XC 18601.
Running Windows XP Home Edition. 1.7Ghz Processor. 384Mb RAM.
Drive C: is my System or Source Drive. 40Gb

Drive D: is my XXCloned drive. 40Gb

Got myself a small problem, nothing insurmountable, but at this 
moment in time I just cannot see the wood for the trees.

Until around 11.30am today, everything has been sweet as a nut with 
the entire system.

This morning I carried out my usual Xxclone backup using the 
following:

:: Begin Batch File (for NT, 2000, or XP systems)
@echo off & setlocal enableextensions
echo Enter D (and press ENTER) to do a daily backup
echo W to do a weekly backup
echo M to do a monthly backup.
echo:
echo Or just press ENTER to exit.
echo:
set /p OPTION= if "%OPTION%"=="" GOTO :EOF 
if /I "%OPTION%"=="W" xxcopy c:\ d:\ /BU/FF/ZY/EX"C:\My exclusion 
list.txt"/oNxxcopy.log
if /I "%OPTION%"=="M" xxcopy C:\ D:\ /BU/FF/EX"C:\My exclusion 
list.txt"/oNxxcopy.log
echo:
pause
cls
cd\XXCLONE
XXCLONE.EXE c: d: /backup0 /start
cls
:: End Batch File


I used the W or Weekly option as I usually have done.

However when I then tried to boot into the Cloned drive I got the 
following message on screen:

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or 
corrupt.


\System32\hal.dll

Please re-install a copy of the above file.


Has anyone got any bright ideas as to why this might have happened, 
or may have happened.

Am I correct in thinking that if I re-Install the named dll back 
into Windows\System32\hal.dll in the destination disk or in my case 
drive D: then I would have resolved my problem.




Sincere thanks


Kind regards


Pat
