[Sohi]

1.) I was installing boot manager in windows xp, It was fine until I ran plpgenbtldr
Clusters for file: C:\Documents and Settings\$ohi\plop\plpbt.bin
Failed to open file: C:\Documents and Settings\$ohi\plop\plpbt.bin
press any key to continue
2.) And then I restarted my pc, I got a boot option of plop and when I pressed enter I got this:
hal.dll is missing or corrupted something like that.
Please help.

Solved: As mentioned in the manual, I was trying to rename plpinstc.com to plpbt.bin but it did not work. But then i copied the plpbt.bin file already present in the install folder and it worked. I think the manual should be updated accordingly.

I think the manual should be updated accordingly.

i think you didn't read it correct

This is how the manual looks like:
"Create a directory like c:\plop. You can use any directory you want.

Copy plpinstc.com and plpgenbtldr.exe to your c:\plop directory.

Rename plpinstc.com to plpbt.bin."
But thanks for this great tool Elmar, appreciate your work.

Copy plpinstc.com and plpgenbtldr.exe to your c:\plop directory.

Rename plpinstc.com to plpbt.bin."

and this works since years when you want to install the boot manager to the mbr with the windows boot menu.
