shorterxp Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Hello allI recently tried installing nlite xp home using 5.1.2600 onto a laptop from 2006. When I try booting from personalized nlite CD I get the pci.sys bsod.I believe this is mainly because 5.1.2600 predates the hardware. I know it isn't nlite that's removing necessary files because bsod also occurs with original 5.1.2600 image. I read this occurs because 5.1.2600 lacks PCI express support. There does not appear to be a method of disabling PCI-E in laptop bios. does anybody know if perhaps there is some sort of universal pci express driver I can slipstream with nlite installation? Before anyone suggests the obvious, I've tried slip streaming service packs but for some reason CD key is renders invalid.I'm definitely referring the right versions and respective key (home edition) as it says on the sticker. Any clues? Regards Edited November 25, 2014 by shorterxp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe obvious, but that is a known issue when attempting slipstreaming a service pack running NOT under XP (i.e. running under Vista or later).http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/117515-slipstreamed-sp3-product-key-now-invalid/ jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponch Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 If slipstreaming a Service Pack has got you past the BSOD,(as you seem to imply) then the problem you describe is solved. Also see here 2 other reasons for invalid key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
