Missing halmacpi.dll upon install

Question
-
I'm attempting to do a clean install of WHS on a system that was running WHS Trial Edition just fine. However... after clearing the hard drives of all the data (I thought maybe attempting to install over the trial version was the problem) I'm getting this error w/ both the OEM DVD and the Trial Version!\windows\system32\halmacpi.dll
Status: 0xc000098
Windows failed to load because the HAL is missing or corruptThis error occurs just after the "Setup is loading files" screen... before I even have an attempt at a repair or anything.Again... I've had WHS running on this system that I built consisting of a P-IV 2.5 Ghz, 2 GB RAM and (2) SATA HDD connected to a Sil RAID controller.One would think the RAID controller was the issue... but again, it worked before!Please help!EricTuesday, April 7, 2009 1:30 AM

Have you tried another DVD drive?\windows\system32\halmacpi.dll

I put the memory back in with which the Trial Version was installed and viola... the OEM version is currently installing. I guess the installer must have an issue w/ the memory I had in there that the OS, once installed, does not.Eric- Proposed as answer by kariya21Moderator Tuesday, April 7, 2009 2:55 AM
