To repair missing or corrupted system file/s, boot up with the Windows installation CD then -
Press R to repair when instructed.
Press 1 or Enter to repair the C:\Windows folder.
Then type chkdsk /r and then press Enter.
The repair process will take quite a long time.

, can you help me please. thank you

Try this device using windows 7....if theres any problems with your divice windows 7 fixes them...you need no drivers at all..windows 7 really improved this device

If you have a computer with windows 7 all ur problems will be solved....just plug it in and windows 7 will fix the problems....but one thing it will only run well on 7 so think about changing

You have two ways to solve the problem of "Pci.sys Is Missing or Corrupt"
Error Message When You Start Windows.

1.Booting with WinXP CD to access the Recovery Console’s Repair option,
and then copy from WinXP CD the missing or damaged Pci.sys file to
Systemdrive:\Windows\System32\drivers folder , Exit and Reboot.

start the recovery console and type:
set AllowAllPaths = true
expand d:\i386\pci.sy_ c:\windows\system\drivers32 /y
If you don't type
set AllowAllPaths = true you can't access the windows folder.

2. Booting with WinXP CD and then perform a Windows XP Repair Reinstall
of the currently installed system.

If you need detailed assistance post with details of your Operating system
[WinXP Home vs WinXP Pro and the SP status i.e SP1 or SP2 ]

Just Google the internet with "RD2840 firmware download", download the firmware upgrade .exe file, and follw the instructions in upgrading the firmware of it.

Part of the proces is to restablish all the necessary files.

Best regards,

Dear FixYa,
Ohms was helping me, I am guessing that he tried to download some info for the fix.
However, because we have pony express dial-up the material was never fully sent.
Help ! My mp3 is my link to success in triathlons ( got one this sat) I am sunk without the support. Again the error message reads "bad or missing lyra sys folder"
Thanks Jeff
