Hello all. I have a dell laptop that was just infested with viruses, and decided to completely wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows xp pro. It was home but I decided to upgrade. Now I wiped the computer clean, but it crashes everytime I put in the Windows XP Pro cd, it gives me the pci.sys - address f85480bf base at f8541000 error and I can't figure out how to get past it. Any help would be greatly appreciated
