I get the System32\drivers\pci.sys missing or corrupt message when trying to boot Windows XP. Now, I have tried going to my recovery console and tried "expand drive:\i386\pci.sy_ C:\winnt\system32\drivers /y" all I get is access denied. So, then I restart from XP disk and pressed enter to install Windows XP. Now I should get a repair "R" option, but I dont get that. It tells me that I have to format to install. There are some important data on C drive and hence I dont want to format the drive. Does anyone have other solutions? Thanks.
