ECS 945GCT-M/1333 System Board (by 4 users)

Rod Earl solution worked for me. The first SR2 cd that I tried was too old, & still didn't work. I slipstreamed SR2 that I downloaded from ms into my original xp cd, then it installed perfectly without a problem.

I found the slipstream instructions here

I can see you getting an error with pci.sys but not with pcy.sys.
Did a full system scan in a working WinXP Pro & found not such animal within the system or regestry. After looking through microsoft I did come across pci.sys and what may creat such an error. I would point to your onboard VGA. If intergrated into the board as I suspect. It is a pci device. During install windows found something wrong with it hence your error & blue screen. Suggest using your PCIE card & set bios to same disabling the VGA. Your install should no longer fail.
Good luck & please vote!

Here I am with a similar problem - There's no obvious method to select the onboard VGA adapter. Contracted tech support and they said to select the "PCI Exp_VGA" setting in the Bios instead of the "PCI Card" (default). However, there is no entry for "PCI EXP VGA", only one for "PCI Express Card" and the default "PCI Card". This was not very intuitive and I assumed that tech support knew what they were talking about. I also have a problem with the entries because the screen says "Select which graphics controller to use as the primary boot device". Selecting either one picks up the onboard VGA adapter, which doesn't make too much sense, but again it might be semantics. Getting about ready to take the board and CPU back to Frys and get another board that may or may not work. What I'm seeing when I try to load WinMe or XP, it says Windows didn't get initialized all the way and puts me in Safe mode. Clicking on the Safe Mode just goes out and returns to the Safe Mode again. Sure would've been nice for them to put a BIOS entry that would allow one to select the onboard or external PCIEX16 card. I would try to use a PCIEX16 card, but paying $50 for a mobo and then putting in a $250 PCIEX16 card doesn't make sense.

Anyone else has seen this problem?
