hard drive error! by roflmao456 on 01-06-2007 at 04:16 AM
Ok so i got this laptop (Compaq Evo N610c) it was pretty fast!
Windows XP Pro SP2
256 MB RAM
30 GB HDD
P4 Processor
but then... last night when i started it up it showed
Windows cannot start because the file is missing or corrupt.
System32/DRIVERS/pci.sys
oh no!!
so i booted into the recovery console and formatted the drive.
Then i reinstalled Windows, started up fine... but after like 5 restarts it showed the error again!!! 
oh what shall i do?

Finf out what brand harddisk it is, go to their site, download the test tool for it, and run it.
