Installed my new nova t usb this afternoon and all seemed to be going well until i installed showshifter and then reset my computer. It has completely offed my hal.dll! Not impressed at all, especially since i think my xp with its beloved recovery console is at my parents house. I don't think there is any other was of fixing it, unless any of you fine peeps out there have any other ideas. Ps, this is typed from my lappy.
