XP on D620
I'm trying to setup XP on a new Dell D620 without using the Dell XP CD. I'm using our corporate copy. It goes through the first part of setup and gets to "loading windows" then I get a bluescreen error in PCI.SYS.
I'm assuming this is because I don't have the hard disk controller driver. But I can't find it for download from Dell's website. can anyone help? Thanks
Steve

What's a VL version?This problem occurs during SETUP. I boot to the XP setup disc, I get the "press F6 to load 3rd part SCSI drivers" , it finishes loading all the hard disk controller drivers, then bluescreen in PCI.SYS. When this has occurred in the past, we were able to download the hard disk controller driver from Dell (like for the P380) and insert the disk and it would pick it up. There doesn't appear to be a driver on Dell's website for this model.Any additional help would be appreciated.Steve

When you start Windows, you receive an error similar to:
File is missing or corrupt: C:\Winnt\System32\Drivers\Pci.sys
To restore the file, 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. Type the administrator password.
4. Type MAP to determine the drive letter assigned to the CD-ROM.
5. Type Expand \i386\pci.sy_ c:\Winnt\System32\drivers /y. You should receive:
pci.sys
1 file(s) expanded.
6. Type exit.
NOTE: c:\winnt should be replaced with the location of your Windows installation.
