Only hints I can give is this link and some info from some notes I have:


http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=330181
Windows XP Problems with Damaged or Incompatible Hardware
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
System32\DRIVERS\pci.sys

Setupdd.sys could not be loaded. Error code 4.

-or-

Setupdd.sys could not be loaded. Error code 7.


Hint 2:
When you start Windows, you could receive an error similar to:
File is missing or corrupt: C:\Winnt\System32\Drivers\Pci.sys
To restore the file, either perform an in-place upgrade or expand the file
from the Recovery Console:
1. Start the Recovery Console.
2. Select the installation you wish to access.
3. Enter the Administrator password.
4. Enter MAP to determine the drive letter assigned to the CD-ROM.
5. Type: Expand <CD-ROM drive:>\i386\pci.sy_ c:\Winnt\System32\drivers /y.
You should receive:
pci.sys
1 file(s) expanded.
6. Type exit to terminate Recovery Console.
