• PCI.sys missing or corrupted Server R2 2012

  After the Windows updates, you now receive an error during startup which States PCI.sys missing or corrupted.  I tried to replace the file with a new copy pci.sys, ran chkdsk c:/r, and nothing seems to work.

  I have the impression that the registry is to blame, but don't know where to start

  This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

• After installing the new hard drive and using recovery discs, I get this message could not start because the following file is m issing or damaged system32\drivers\pci.sys

  I just replaced my hard drive with a new because the other HD said imminent failure or something like that! Basically the hard drive was about to fail and I so now the new one installed and I used my recovery disks and all seemed well until the recovery disks have been completed and the computer says to get out them. Then the computer restarted several times and then I get this message:
  Windows cannot start because missing or corrupt the system 32\drivers\pci.sys
  Then he said: "you can try to repair this file by starting windows setup using the original configuration of the CD-ROM.
  Select 'R' in the first screen to start repair.
  one of the many questions I have is that CD-ROMs are talking? It is the recovery disk, they want me to or what? also if you know a CV or another page which includes help on this specific topic would also help! Thank you
  also, I can still use the old drive hard when it is installed on my laptop!

  Hello panjok2,

  Sometimes recovery CD are dependent on the architecture of a hard drive.  If it is different from the original disc, then we have problems.

  In this case, the best thing you could do is contact HP and see if this is the case.  If it is not why this happens, they should be able to help you as well because they are the ultimate authority on their recovery process.

  Let us know if you have any questions.

• Error - EPPkt.sys and c:\windows\system32\drivers\afw.sys not found and fix crashes in Windows XP Pro computer.

  Original title: during repair XP Pro from the disk installation, everything crashes.

  I am writing this plea on my desktop, pc Win 7 it. The pc is older and elsewhere in the House.

  Due to the white/white space in Add/Remove Programs, after checking the extent of possible for viruses, corruption Reg, etc., the advice of consensus was to reinstall the Windows, using the disc (this XP Pro was on the HARD drive when I got the pc - new to 2009 - and I did the back-up recommended/controlled , and that's what I was doing Rcounter Set up, around 1700 BST.

  Everything seemed to go OK, but black screen of Windows is now the small hourglass circulating and 'Please wait '.  The HARD drive is flickering, but it's been more than 3 hours!

  My second pc was rotten, and I had to reinstall or repair XP Home [disk] a few times. It is only 35 GB, compared to more than 100 on the pc in question - but I've never met before delay.

  Installation messages were as follows:

  EPPkt.sys and c:\windows\system32\drivers\afw.sys not found.  I checked this point, and it should not have caused any problems. It has also sought a labeled disc 'Machine Virtual Network Services', which no doubt, since I did not, was never necessary.

  I'll leave it on - but...

  Help, please!

  Well, I had to bow to the inevitable. Please accept this response as a ' I've been there - it could happen to you. "

  I spoke to BT [they provide my broadband] and the helpful guy asked me to look at the installation and reinstall in a different place. It's OK, but [, BUT] some of the drivers have been zapped in eternity. PCI, sounds, videos. The guy thought BT that these had been modified or replaced since the beginning, whereas they were not available. The XP Prof is on the pc when I got it, but I assumed that the pilots were on the backup disk, I did. No, they were not. And how to go online to search for them if we could not put in place the ethernet connection?
  So, I bought Win - 7 it 32-bit full ed. [be too afraid to try an upgrade].

  It could have been a response in the migration of these from other drivers, but I guess it was time to go.

  As I can't afford to buy new COREL, MS Word, etc, I have installed free VMWare player as a host for my older progs in a virtual environment.

  Another thing came out of this: although what remained of XP has been saved by 7 as WINDOWS.old, I am very happy that I had a HDD eternal with ntfs to preserve my files and installable 3rd party progs.

  I hope this might help someone - thanks for the info.
