Problems during Installation of the current Hardlock Drivers in Windows XP Service Pack 2 or due to automatic Windows Update.
The following solution is suggested:
1. Open C:\ root directory in Explorer
2. Remove the read-only attribute of the file boot.ini
3. In boot.ini change the entry "OptIn" to "AlwaysOff"
4. Restart your computer
5. Install Hardlock Driver
Meanwhile the Hardlock provider Aladin issued an update.
HASPDINST.EXE solves the problem too.
You can find it here.
