trouble mith memory and XP PRO



Hi, i have a little problem with win XP PRO i think, i have a compaq deskpro
EN series PC and iv purchased a new memory module (256 MB SDRAM, 168PIN ,
non-ECC, cl=3) iv tried to upgrade my PC with this memory module and it
eccepts it (bringing my total memory to 448 of a possible 768MB) but then it
wont let windows load, stating (with an error screen, just before windows
boots) that "system32\DRIVERS\pci.sys is missing or corrutp, play your
original mindows CD and press "r" on the first screen to repair this problem"
(to the best of my memory),

but the problem is i don't have a windows XP CD (it came on my PC) plus i
don't have a floppy disk drive (that didn't), so i can't download a boot up
thingy form Microsoft (for those who know what i mean).

is there anything i can do to fix this problem.

for more info jst ask,
thank
Danny F. (PS, i hope iv been thourogh enough)
