Guest Doonie Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Hello I need to reinstall my OS so I removed the HD from my fairly new HP Pavilion and attached it my notebook via an external USB enclosure. I then combined several existing partitions using Norton Partition Magic. Tested for surface errors, unhid the drive, formatted it and reinstalled it in the Pavilion. Using an original XP disk, no SP I attempted to install the OS. Just after all drivers, etc are loaded the screen turns blue with a halt error specifying pci.sys. I have removed every PCI component including memory and tried again with the same results. I am looking for instructions for 2 things. First to solve the problem, can I remove the HD, attach it to my notebook, install the OS and then install the disk in the Pavilion? Failing that, what else should I do? Thanks Doonie ~ every 100 years, all new people ~
Guest Gerry Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Re: Unable to install XP Pro - BlueScreen! 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 -- Hope this helps.

Guest Doonie Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Re: Unable to install XP Pro - BlueScreen! I mean that 1) the PC is equipped with a single, formatted, empty SATA drive.Please see my initial post. There is nothing on the drive, it is empty, contains no OS or data, absolutely blanko. 2) I insert the original XP (No SP) CD into the CD drive and then boot to that drive. 3) Setup begins asking about 3rd party drivers, RAID drivers,etc. 4) After this, the setup screen SHOULD show "To set up Windows now, press enter" HOWEVER instead of seeing this, I am instead of presented with blue screen. In other words, the install never gets past the initial loading of drivers, etc. PS I would really prefer a response dealing with the interpetation of the Halt messages as I posted earlier. "Gary S.

Guest John John (MVP) Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Re: Unable to install XP Pro - BlueScreen! Then keep fighting with the pci.sys error. This problem was corrected with SP2 and many who have had the very same problem as you have reported success when integrating SP2 to their installation disk. Basically you are trying to install an operating system in it's year 2001 released version on a year 2008 computer that has hardware that didn't even exist in 2001 when XP was released.

Windows XP original doesn't have SATA drivers. SP2 does. Thata's why people have recommended slipstreaming SP2 (which is a good idea, anyway.)

There are a ton of solutions for the issue, and the one that appears to most suit the OP is to download the SATA (and probably a few other necessary) drivers from the motherboard/builder's site, put them onto a floppy or CD or flash drive, and load them at the appropriate moment, early in the initial phases of Setup. If the drivers aren't available for this purpose, then the slipstreamed SP2 is the obvious next choice. -- Gary S.

Guest John John (MVP) Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Re: Unable to install XP Pro - BlueScreen! You can't load drivers from flash drive or CD using the F6 method, the setup programs only accepts drivers from floppy diskettes. John Gary S.

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Re: Unable to install XP Pro - BlueScreen! Geez! Not even in Vista? What dark recess of some Pakistani cave were the poor Vista Setup programmers stuck in when floppies essentially became obsolete, how many years ago was it? I suppose you can't even load them onto the HD, either? Makes the whole F6 procedure pretty much worthless. Yup, Vista and damned near everything else out of MS in the last five years just proves what I said earlier. They oughta fire everyone from middle-management up to the CEO. -- Gary S.

Guest John John (MVP) Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Re: Unable to install XP Pro - BlueScreen! Keep in mind that this is a Windows XP group, the answers here don't necessarily apply to other NT versions. Vista setup will accept the drivers on a media source other than the floppy drive. But prior to Vista you *must* supply the drivers on a floppy diskette, the setup program will not accept them on any other media source. John Gary S. Terhune wrote: > Geez! Not even in Vista?

Guest Gerry Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Re: Unable to install XP Pro - BlueScreen! John Another alternative is to acquire a more up to date CD with the updates already incorporated in the CD (I think it may only need SP1). A different hard drive is another. Your F6 point is new to me so just keep the information flow going <G>. The OP is spoilt for choice! Which do you think is the best solution? Slipstreaming or your F6 solution? -- Regards.

Guest John John (MVP) Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Re: Unable to install XP Pro - BlueScreen! The F6 solution wasn't my idea, it was suggest by others, I suggested that he slipstream SP2 in his installation disk. I don't think that this is a SATA issue, I think that this is caused by newer PCIe hardware that the original Windows XP setup doesn't know how to properly handle. Apparently the OP doesn't want to go the SP2 route so I don't have much else to add to help resolve the problem. A case of the proverbial horse being led to water... he'll drink when he is thirsty enough! Intel has this to say about this pci.sys installation error: If you are installing Windows XP on an Intel® Desktop Board that includes PCI Express* support, you must use Windows XP with Service Pack 2, otherwise you may see the following blue screen error during installation: ***stop 0x0000007E ( oxc 0000005, oxf9a380bf, oxf9e84208, oxf9e834208, 0xe9e83f08 *** PCI.SYS address f9a380bf base at f9a31000, date stamp 3b7d8ssc If you do not have an installation CD that includes Service Pack 2, you can create a ‘slipstream’ CD.

Guest Doonie Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Re: Unable to install XP Pro - BlueScreen! Ah yes a vigorous discussion containing much research and even fewer solutions. I attempted the XP w/SP2 disk which also failed in the same fashion but with a different bluescreen message. I think it said "surrender, all your base are belong to us" whatever than infers. My next trick is to install a floppy drive equipped with the SATA drivers. Then I would expect F6 to function properly. HOWEVER, the drivers Intel Matrix Storage Manager of Intel G965 Express Chipset, located at http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/CS-022768.htm are in .exe form. I am now trying to find them in their native format in order for Windows setup to use them. What a colossal waste of time and a I say "a plague upon yee Hewlett Packard" for having not a single idea or resource to solve this via chat support. -- ~ every 100 years, all new people ~ "John John (MVP)" wrote: > The F6 solution wasn't my idea, it was suggest by others, I suggested > that he slipstream SP2 in his installation disk.
