pci.sys- Address F748E0BF base at F7487000, datestamp 3b7d855c
It runs Win 2000 perfectly- when I start to upgrade to XP- it starts to install- reboots- and this is what I get. I figure it is hardware- but what? I can give specs on my build if necessary-
I have researched and I think because my version of XP has no Service Packs- XP does not recognize pci-e and therefore is giving me this error- Is there any way of getting around finding someone who has XP sp2 to use?
I had a similar problem with a Dell Laptop. Your correct, the pci-e problem was corrected with SP2. It was a race, I contacted Dell for a recovery CD with SP2 and while waiting I tried to Slipstream my original recovery CD. The new recovery CD's arrived before I could get the slipstream process to work. I did a clean restore with the new recovery CD and was successful.
Since you built yours system, before you purchase a new XP, maybe you could slipstrean your CD with SP2. When I stopped the slipstream process I got stuck when trying to merge the two using microsoft upate. It failed saying that XP software was already updated. I did not research the error.
I think beacause the Original Dell recovery CD came with SP1, that it was already "slipstreamed" and it would not merge SP2. I sorry, I did not follow thru to find out what happened.
This sucks- I am 90% sure this is my problem- I tried to slipstream sp2 into my XP - but I don't have Roxio or Nero to burn it! Any suggestions on freeware that will do the burn?
Thanks- but I tried that this morning- it doesn't have the necessary options I need to burn it correctly?- I looked under the burn options for data cd and I can't figure out how to burn it properly- I don't know if I just can't figure it out, or it won't work- any suggestions??
Why are you building your xp on top of win 2000? Your system should load xp all by itself, and only ask for the win2000 to verify the upgrade. Go to Bootdisk.com and if you have a floppy drive download the sp1 and 2 and added it that way. Jazz
First of all, nero does have the necessary options to burn bootable CDs. I have made custom slipstreamed CDs for win2k, XP with nero.
Next your conclusion that xp does not support pci-e and that is why you get the bsod is incorrect. Just think about it for a min. You installed win2k [an even older os] and it worked. Win2k was made long before anyone even thought of pci-e. AGP was the new setup when win2k was written.
Those errors are almost always caused by ram. Post your exact specs; ie make and model of mb, brand and model of ram, brand and wattage of pw supply, etc, etc.
Well, if you wanna burn Windows XP with service packs, easy way to do it use freeware program N-Lite. This program so simple and has a lot of options to use. N-Lite
I've got a better program that one of the Dell techs got for me; it's freeware, so don't freak out, when we were trying to update the firmware for our servers' SCSI hard drives. Nero has known issues when it comes to burning ISO files, so this is your best bet:

Why in the world would you need to burn an iso file to make a bootable custom xp disk?
I must have made at least a hundred of these disks for people with custom drivers, etc; never a need to burn an iso file. Do the slipstreaming from a cmd prompt and then burn a bootable disk. Either extract the needed files from the boot sector of the xp disk OR you can use one of the many many available on the web for a boot sector.
Thanks for the advice - I used N-Lite and burned the slipstreamed disk- used it and it installed- oh joy!!!!
