So, I've read over the HAL Detect walkthrough here: http://www.myitforum.com/articles/15/view.asp?id=8997

I must be missing something. On a PC with multiple processors, after sysprep runs - it just hangs at a black screen. I think some files are missing, but I'm not sure what I should do about it.

The article mentions that:

quote:

This script assumes the following files are being present in C:\Drivers\UniProcHAL
hal.dll (Rename from halaacpi.dll to hal.dll)
ntkrnlpa.exe
ntoskrnl.exe

It makes no mention of MultiProc HALs, until later, where it says:

quote:

ACPI Multiprocessor PC
- halmacpi.dll (renamed to hal.dll)
- ntkrpamp.exe (renamed to ntkrnlpa.exe)
- ntkrnlmp.exe (renamed to ntoskrnl.exe)

I'm thinking this is the problem, as I only have the UniProc HAL files. But if so, I can't have two files named hal.dll, so what am I not understanding?

So after rereading the article about eleventy billion times, the part where it says Sysprep will update it sunk in. I don't need the files, because Sysprep will take care of it.

After that, I commented out the lines that said Call CopyHalFiles() and things worked like a champ.
