Missing system32/drivers/pci.sys

Do you have a Windows XP install CD? If you, you can boot the Recovery Console from it by entering R at the first opportunity. Once you get to the command prompt, enter chkdsk c: /r Do not disturb, let it run to completion. This can take a while depending on how large the hard drive is. Reboot and see if that resolved the problem. If not, boot the Recovery Console again and enter expand d:\i386\pci.sy_ C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\pci.sys d: would be your CD/DVD drive letter C: would be your boot drive Info on the expand command here: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/termse/p/expand.htm If that doesn't resolve it, you can use Puppy Linux, a Linux Live (bootable) CD to save your data then do a reinstall of XP. See this post by Happyrck on GeeksToGo for some very explicit directions on using Puppy Linux. http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/192486-help-with-windows-xp-wont-start/page__p__1197721#entry1197721

Fortunately, ASP.NET provides a public property on the Page class, and we can set a content page’s title declaratively in the @ Page directive. example: AutoEventWireup="true" Title="Home" % > A Page Directive Approach Another approach is possible which provides the same flexibility and convenience of the Title attribute. For example, what if we wanted to set the meta keywords of a page in the @ Page directive? AutoEventWireup="true" Title="Home" Inherits="BasePage" MetaKeywords="masterpage ASP.NET" %> To use the MetaKeywords attribute in every page of an application, we just need to inherit from a common base class that exposes a MetaKeywords property. The base class can also inject the meta tag into the page header. using System; using System.Web.UI; using System.Web.UI.Ht...
