When installing Windows XP on a Mac, BootCamp creates a FAT32 partition for Windows, with ID “BOOTCAMP”.
When you remove that partition during the Windows installation process, and replace it with an NTFS one, Windows will happily install, but fail upon reboot with:

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\system32\hal.dll
Please re-install a copy of the above file

The trick to get this working, is to leave the partition schema intact, and only reformat the filesystem.
What you should do, is select the FAT32 BOOTCAMP partition to install Windows on, then pick this option:

Format the partition using the NTFS file system (Quick)

Then press F to format the drive

This should give you a working Windows XP installation.

Usually vacation messages are sent from userland software, but that option has the disadvantage that you still receive lots of messages during your holiday. Also, because the mailserver accepted the message, you have the responsibility to handle it.

In order to get around this, configure your mail server with a custom permanant error for your address. This way your messages will bounce back to the sender, and you will not receive any messages.

People cannot claim that they sent it – and you can prove it. Presto – no more mailbox weeding after returning from holiday.
