Major windowsxp corruption

[Dan Royal]

My neighbor is running Windows xp home edition. He went to install a 3rd
party program today. Screen froze and when he rebooted, Windows would not
come up. Give message that it can't find system32\drivers\pci.sys and to
try repairing using original CD and option 'r'. I did that, but it did no
good.

I reinstalled windows under a new directory, windows1 so that I wouldn't
wipe out anything. So we can get that up now, but of course it can't see
any of his programs or documents. I was going to copy the pci.sys file from
the newly created file in windows1 over to the windows/system32/drivers
directory, but discovered there is no drivers directory in that directory.

What's the best way to be able to get it so that the system can see all of
his installed programs, documents, pictures, etc?

Thanks,

Dan
