RE: system32\drivers\pci.sys
Hmmm, interesting...
Faulty hard drive, maybe?
1.- Try to do a repair install placing your "bad" hard drive on your "good"
pc.
2.- If #1 fails, then I think it is time for a new hard drive.
Another course of action would be to "get" (buy, borrow or even steal) a
spare hard drive, place it in your problematic pc and try to install your OS
from scratch.
