[dba-Tech] make USB-stick bootable - 1st fail

right now it has screwed up the winxp on the original HD.
it went through the install (from a slipstreamed winXP sp3 to the usbStick,
but at the second reboot it would not start win again.
not with or without the stick.
tells me now it is missing a filed named hal.dll in windows\system32
trying to get that with an Acronis boot disk
