I have an Acer Travelmate 737 TLV which originally came equipped wtih Win 98
SE. Later I upgraded to WinXP Pro (now with SP2). Everything has worked
fine for years. Recently, I did a cold boot and received a message
something like:
Windows could not load because the following file was corrupted or missing:
c:\system32\Drivers\pci.sys . You can attempt to repair this file by
running setup.exe from the original Windows CD and selecting the option "R"
on the first screen to repair the file.
When I pressed the spacebar, windows did load. So, at the desktop I put the
instalation CD for Win XP in the CD Rom drive and pressed Start\Run and ran
setup.exe from the CD Rom. Surprisingly, there was no "R" option on the
first screen, nor on the second screen after choosing "Perform additional
tasks".
Can someone tell me what the problem is and how to solve it? Thank you.
