Okay, so the owner of this computer attempted to install Vista (pirated) and in the process corrupted his xp install. After some tinkering I merely installed xp on a different partition. My question is can I restore using one restore points from the other partition to this partition?

The way this computer is partitioned in the first place is kinda odd.

C:/ = Personal data and all installed programs and desktop stuff
d:/ = HP Recovery partition
f:/ = The original core windows install.

Any ideas? The last error I'm getting btw when I try to boot is Session Manager 0xc000003a.

Tried running it down but out of ideas. Orginally it said missing or cuorrupt HAL.dll which was a boot.ini problem. So I used bootcfg /rebuild to get past that and thats when I got this new error.

Thnx
