Re: Unable to install XP Pro - BlueScreen!

" Just after all drivers, etc are loaded the screen turns blue with a halt
error specifying pci.sys."

You mean that's when the CD is loading, before you get to formatting,
installing, etc.?

Gary, to make sure you are accurate in your comment, the OS is not
installed.
I am attempting to install it from CD to the formatted HD...

The OS *is* installed, more or less. It just has problems loading,

@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl:

An exact copy of the Stop Error report is needed.

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on
the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,
Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before
Automatically Restart.

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until you have
resolved the problem. Check for variants of the Stop Error message.

An alternative is to keep pressing the F8 key during Start-Up and
select
option - Disable automatic restart on system failure.

If you are using a wireless keyboard and the F8 key does not work
substitute a wired keyboard



How can the OP do that if the OS is not installed?
