Hi Dale, hello everyone, PCI.SYS Missing or Corrupt The link above shows the location of the file on the WinXp CD and also explains how to extract it. Best Regards, Mesich

when i tryed it i got "Access Denied". Its the write file cept i think thats for winnt not win xp. I tried to change the name of where it should go. Eg. Expand <CD-ROM DRIVE:>\i386\pci.sy_ c:\Windows\System32\drivers /y. insted of : Expand <CD-ROM DRIVE:>\i386\pci.sy_ c:\Winnt\System32\drivers /y. It expanded then but of course it didnt work at login. if you got any ideas that would b great DaleX

Hi Dale, hello everyone, I've uploaded the file. You can download it from here. Best Regards, Mesich

So do i put that on a cd and put it in my E: drive and go expand E:\pci.sys C:\windows\system32\drivers /y ? or is there another way. im not sure where to put the file because all the pci.sys problems seem to be only for winnt or win 2000 DaleX

help plzzz DaleX

Hi Dale, Download pci.sys from the link in response #3. Place the downloaded file in the C:\Winnt\System32\drivers folder. Best Regards, Mesich
