My older computer crashed and someone said to install windows on top of windows without formatting,but would have to "activate windows","how" is this done?It won't get past a message to re-install windows root system 32 hal.dll,have tried everything and don't have a backup disk,as purchased from someone who is deceased now,so don't know anything about this computer.It is a Dell optiplex and did have Windows XP Home Edition on it,but computer is unaccessable as can't get past this message.I'm on my newer computer asking questions.So how can you install windows on top of windows,and how do you activate windows.This computer repair must take a genious to figure out,very stressful and complicated.Already tried putting the Windows XP home edition Cd in,but won't do anything.
