PCI.SYS Windows XP Pro will not install

Yeh your right Colchar, you definitely need winxp with service pack 2. I was getting so frustrated and upset and kept thinking there's a fault with my graphics card, but it's ok now.

I can't believe it does not mention this in either my mobo manual or my graphics card manual. Them manufacturers need to inform customers about these things.

now I'm getting a problem with my soundcard which is on a normal PCI SLOT, slot 2 I think. Should it be on Slot 1, does it matter at all on what slot it's on?

The XP SP2 answer makes so much sense. That saved me a bit of a heart attack. Though I bought bad equipment.
But I do have a further question, I initially was trying to install XP pro x64.
It freezes at the same spot where x32 XP gives the pci.sys
As far as I can tell, there is no SP for x64.
If i cannot find a solution (hoping this PCI gfx card works temporarily for install) I plan on using the slipstrem I have and then upgrading to x64. Though I am afraid I may run into that problem again.
I hate doing upgrades, I greatly prefer fresh installs of new OSs.
Are there any ideas on how to proceed installing XP x64?

Thank you

same problem for me too

I was having this same problem while fixing up my buddy's Dell laptop, and everything I tried didnt work.

Thank god I found this thread/forum. The slipstream disc worked like a charm!

pci.sys stop error

hi
i have recently purchased some components.
p4 3.4 775
ecs pcg extreme motherboard
ati radeon x800gt pci ex
3 x 1 gb ddr2 667 mgz

this is to incorporate my existing hdd's which i want to keep intact.

i tried connecting everything and booting into safe mode from an existing windows partition an my hdd, but the system continually reboots after loading mup.sys or btkernel.sys.

this led me to try a fresh install onto a blank partition but i then get the stop error refering to pci.sys. the exact error is:
pci.sys - address f78350bf, base at f782e000, datestamp 3b7d855c.

i have tried another (identical) mobo, cpu ram and video card with exactly the same error.

the xp disk i am trying to reinstall from is only sp1, but the existing windows partition that i hoped to boot into safe mode with is sp2.

i have also disabled pracically everything in the bios which makes no difference.

i am mere hours away from taking this kit back to the large nationwide chainstore and telling them to sort it or refund my money.

any help would be much appreciated.

thanks

I had experieced the same problem last night I'm running a
P4 3.0GHz
Intel 945PVS mobo
2GB cosair DDR2
ATI X700Pro PCI-X

My only question, why can I load Windows 2000 on my PC with the same PCI-X graphics card but not with SP1?

Now I did create a SP2 slipstream, well sort of, I got everything correct till the part where you have to intergrate it:

Example: C:\XP-SP2\i386\Update\Update.exe -S:C:\XP

So what I did was take the I386 and copied the contents to the older I386, If thats ok I do not know, but I work to some extent.

I got further then I did before but then It asked me enter my XP Professional Disc 1 which I never recieved befire.

So what If I install a regular old PCI graphics card, then it should in theroy work right? correct me if I am worng

WP vs SBS 2003

Hello
I have the same problems but on a win 2003 smal business server..

windows bluescreen both in new setup and in reboot of working installation..
same error as above.. ?

enyone have a clue.. ?

I am having similar instalation problem, however, when I try to slipstreamed SP2 with Windows XP Pro I get this message "This Service Pack cannot be integrated into a destination that has integrated Software Updates. Consult the Service Pack documentation for more details about supported integration scenarios."
Any ideas on what to do?

does this xp sp2 solve the sata hd recogniton problem. bios does not sees the hard drive?

Hey I've tried this and it works

Hello, please sorry my English, but I only speak Spanish

Well, I recently Buy one PC with the following:

Pentium D 3.4 Ghz
2Gb RAM
ATI 2006 Series All in Wonder
SATA Disk 250 Gb
Mother Board Intel 945 PVS

Well I've been tired to install Windows XP SP2 the first time but i have the blue screen , i tried everything, but nothing works, well i tried something else, Ive installed one more SATA Disk, and installed as a RAID Volumen, and A Mirror Disk, If you Understand me,

After I did that, I run WinXP Sp2 installation and it works completly

HEre what you need to do, install a new hard drive with the same capacity in the SATA port 0 and 1, the you configure a RAID VOlumen before install WinXP, after you create the RAID Volumen in the first step of WIN XP Installation press F6 for isntall a driver to RAID Disks, afeter continue with the normal steps, the advantege you get with that procedure, is everything you do in the first disk, inmediatly copies to the second disk, and if the first one failes for any reason just change the disks and that's it.

I hope you understand everything if you need more help please write me a letter to maickff@hotmail.com, and i return it as as soon as posible.

Sorry, I was wrong with the other one

Well, I'm sorry about the other solution. That works partialy, but at the final in reboot of windows finished instalation the PC roboot one and another and another, and never stops.

In the end I put in there a tools for memory test, and that report a error reading RAM, well i remove one of the two memories installed before, (one in channel A and another in channel B), and in a single memory slot the things go perfectly fine, the windows install very good, and runs much better, it seems windows not work appropriatley with both channels.

Try that one, and if you get a solution getting windows work with both channels, let me know please, because I put both of memories in one channel and everthing work perfectly fine

pci.sys problem

I have noticed that your advices were really helpfull to some people. I have a similar problem. I used to have an ASUS AGP board with Core 2 duo. I changed the motherboard to ABIT-IP95 that is a PCI. This is the message i get
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you have seen this stop message screen restart your computer.

If it appears again follow these steps:

Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. (Yup got 10gigs)

If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with manufacturer updates

Try changing video adapters

Check with your hardware vendor for any bios updates (have updated bios to latest version)

Disable cahing or shadowing memory (have disabled the memory caching)

If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components restart your computer and press F8 to select advanced start up options then select safe mode

By the way!! I am using my onboard VGA card since i still havent received my PCI express. Please help if you can!

PCi.sys problem solution..

hi ,

dont use a normal XP cd ..
u have to use windws XP with Service Pack 2 CD...

search for it ..ull find in the market..

Thank you

Thank you. I did it and it worked out! Thanks again.

Hi,

I have been dealing with this issue for almost a week, disabling anything will not work!!! I even loaded a ghost image from another machine and it worked but guess what now you have to take off the unnecessary programs off of it, Someone suggessted slipstream cd, Before doing anything make sure that you have Easy CD Creator version 5 and your current XP cd before going to this site, it works!!! http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sp2_slipstream.asp

If anyone needs assistance on how to set this up let me know!!!

Not fixed yet

ABIT IP-95 MOTHERBOARD
MAXTOR ATA/133 IDE HARD DRIVE
EXCELSTOR SATA II 80 GB HARD DRIVE
APIDA DDR400 512MB STICK
2.66 CELERON D CPU
WINDOWS XP PRO

I tired the slipstream method. No good.

The only way I can get this to work is to install the OS on a formatted SATA HD in another computer, then transfer the HD over. Regular IDE PATA drive will not boot after the install, it has to be the SATA.

IT works for awhile, long enough to install java, and firefox, and stuff like that. After an hour or it starts putting up windows shut down errors, and eventually starts rebooting. After several reboots, the OS is dead.

When I put the HD back another computer the OS is coruppted and not bootable.

Tried everthing, new memory, HD, CPU, even tried Vista. All has the same thing, blue screen with various diffent stop errors, depending on the configuration.

I'm ready to give up, and send the ABIT board back, as it is the only common link for the stop errors. Everything else works fine without the IP95

i tried what was posted by emank1965 above... using the slipstream instructions from: http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase...slipstream.asp.

they worked great.

the first time i attempted to load xp it did some strange things - like not being able to find files. i restrated the install process a second time and everything went perfectly.

Thanks!

I'm a seasoned Windows IT pro but never ran into this problem before - solves a couple issues I have all the time with new installs. Thanks for this very insightful and informative solution!

Doc

OMg same thing !@@

See this is what happened....
I had just gotten this new PC !!


BTW my gfx card is PCI-express

I notice SP2 !! which is sumthing i dont like cuz it doesnt let me install Direct x 9.0c !!!!!! and then i was using it for a week or so and then ( I THINK I GOT A VIRUS ) when i used to boot up the pc..it would load windows and @ the welcome screen it would jus restart ! so then my next thought is to formatt it !

I put the windows XP pro cd in and booted it up ! it started loading files..and as soon as it said starting up windows xp setup the pci.sys BSOD came up !! I got soo frustrated !@$@! i still am ! luckily i got my old pc to search for help !!

So..can any1 answer this !!


1)Is it because of the pci-express, that windows xp pro setup is not loading?
