Moving from SuSE Ent. 10 to Windows XP Embedded

I am trying to re-image my FX160 from Linux to Windows. I downloaded the XP Embedded ISO image and burned the image to a CD. I booted the CD off of a USB DVD drive. I went through the image copy and it prompted to reboot. Now during the bootloader sequence, I am getting the following error:

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:

\system32\hal.dll
Please re-install a copy of the above file

I am running A12 BIOS and I have tried switching the SATA type from AHCI to ATA.

Can anyone help me out??

Were you using the A05 version of XPe?

"Were you using the A05 version of XPe?"
Yes I downloaded and am using version A05 of XPe (http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&cs=555&l=en&s=biz&releaseid=R282040&SystemID=PLX_FX160&servicetag=&os=WXPEM&osl=en&deviceid=20845&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=4&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=0&libid=7&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&fileid=417641)

I do not see an option to download older releases on the support site.

OK. I was just making sure that you had the latest version. I've seen a similar HAL issue on standard XP systems but never XPe. It was usually due to an incorrect HAL which shouldn't be the case with XPe. You might try burning the .iso again in case it was a faulty burn. I've seen that also in a few rare cases.

Should the XPe image run OK using the 512MB internal flash drive? I do not have a hard drive in the system.

I don't know for sure, but 512MB seems too small for XPe. I'd pop a HDD in it to verify.
