I only have “Standard PC” listed so I cannot delete and it doesn’t find a better driver to update to. Copied a new hal.dll over and it won’t boot either.

Backup the *.vhd and attempt a Windows repair.

Let us know what happens.

I recently converted a physical server to a VM but it shows up as “MPS multiprocessor PC” and I can’t install the integration services. Can’t upgrade HAL, I don’t have Standard PC in the device manager.

I’m running Server 2000.

Hi Derek,

Please add this to your post:
- When you can’t remove ‘Standard PC’ in device manager, you can attach the VHD to an running Server 2003 machine and copy the hal.dll (windows\system32) to the vhd’s windows\system32 folder.
After that start your machine, you can now delete ‘Standard PC’ from device manager, reboot and follow your installation of ‘Integration Services’…

Thanks,

Remon
