cheers for the advice
I eventually got it working thank GOD, last thing I needed
was the server crashing on me. I did the following from
the RC..
1. Fix boot
2. Chkdsk /p (found and fixed errors)
3 Then expanded the pci.sys from install CD again

All ok now.......still strange that I couldn't findany
links to this problem in 2003 server only 2000\xp on the
web.
