I am trying to install Windows XP on a friends computer following a
hard drive crash (complete crash, HDD toast...no longed even
spins...at boot gave a critical HDD failure error message(or close to
that, can't remember the exact error message, but I tried the HDD in
my PC and it wasn't even detected in the BIOS...could this be a BIOS
virus???)
Anyway, on to the real problem....
The install is on a new 80Gig Westen Digital HDD, motherboard is DFI
PA61, BIOS version SV84510A.86A.0008.P04
The new HDD is detected in the BIOS.
When I try to install it, I keep getting error:
"The file APCI.sys is corrupt, please hit any key to continue."
I don't think it is a 32Gig barrier problem, because his old 40Gig did
show the full space when I checked it.
I haven't flashed the BIOS yet, because I am looking to see if it culd
be anyting but that.
Any have any suggestions?
Thx
