error message when installing xp pro
Hi all,
i just got an inspiron b130 w xp home. i have an unused xp pro retail cd and am trying to install it and before setup fully starts i get a stop error bsod which reports problems with pci.sys. have tried this with 2 seperate retail cd's and get the same error. i tried to boot both cd's in another computer and did NOT get the error message. i haven't formatted the hdd yet. is there some kind of dell protection scheme in place to force people to purchase xp pro oem cd's from them?
any help would be appreciated

I have the same problem, however I have the Dell XP Pro SP0 disk which is immune to slipstreaming since Dell already slipstreamed their own software into it.
Does anyone know of a different fix for this?
