Question : Dell Latitude D410 Unmountable Boot Volume
A Dell Latitude D410 (80 GB hard drive) running XP Professional came to me reporting that the hal.dll was missing or corrupt. The owner had been running a registry optimizer that supposedly sped the machine up at first but it's benefits were short lived. He continued to run it on a regular basis. (not sure if this is a red herring).
I removed the hard dirve and found that the Windows directory was unreadable by attaching the drive to another XP system. I ran the Windows disk repair tool to make the Windows directory readable, now the system goes further but still fails to boot.
Being a 5 year old system I decided to replace the Hard Disk and reload. I put a new 160 GB Hitachi drive in. I used a Dell XP Pro SP2 disk to reload the operating system. Had difficulty creating the partition at first but ultimately XP created it. Most of the way through the installation I get unmountable boot volume (0x000000ED).
I've attached the new disk to another computer and it initialized fine. At this point I'm wondering if the 160 GB size is an issue. Or perhaps do I have something going on with the motherboard. Diagnostics passed with the old drive until it failed when it tried to go to a C drive.
