1. The major issue is that Windows WILL NOT BOOT. I installed Acronis OS Selector to set up a dual-boot correctly, but it just made it worse. A file is corrupted (hal.dll), so it won't boot. I have now deactivated Acronis. I don't have the Dell install disc and I don't know how to access the recovery partition. I have a spare SP2 disc, but it won't recognize my hard drive as being installed...

 

2. The second issue for me is no Internet. My ethernet port is not even recognized. I have an Intel Pro VE 10/100 integrated ethernet port.

 

3. The third issue is no audio. I have integrated AC97 audio.

 

4. The fourth issue is the screen resolution. I have installed the MacVidia driver, though I probably screwed it up. How do you save the stuff you add using Terminal?

 

Help?

I noticed somebody else post a similier problem, trying to boot into OS. Missing hal.dll. I know that no real info but at least you know somebody else did it. Or Acronis did it to somebody else. (try hiding the OS partition though its a long shot)

Regarding no1. Can you see your windoze partition from osx?

Regarding no2. I think you should buy an Ethernet PCI card. Preferably one with Realtek RLT8139 chipset. It's relatively cheap and will solve your problem for good.
