I’ve been in the IT industry a while, and I haven’t seen this one before. I sure hope someone else has! At work, one of our administrators computer “crashed”. She the proceeded to tell me that her screen now says, “Missing or corrupt pci.sys file, load Windows XP and run repair”. So I first tried taking all fo the PCI devices out (there wasn’t many, since most were onboard) that didn’t work. I then tried taking out some RAM modules. That didn’t work. I was told then to run Windows Recovery Console and then expand the pci.sys file back to her hard drive. So I threw in a Windows XP CD and when it got to the part where it gives you options what to do, I chose to run the Windows Recovery Console by hitting the “R” button. Well, as soon as I do that, it just sits there… for hours. It doesn’t do anything. So I can’t even access the Windows Recovery Console. I also tried hooking this specific IDE drive up as a slave in another PC and it won’t boot when it’s hooked up. Anyone have any other suggestions? Or is she hosed?
