APCI.sys corrupt
When trying to install a fresh copy of XP on a machine I am getting an APCI.sys corrupt error. this is happening with multple copy's of cd's and multiple different drives. I need some suggestions I searched the internet and have not really found a solution other than some people have fixed the problem but didnt' say how.
At what point in the installation do you get the error?
ASKER
This is a dell, and yes it is a cd that came from dell.
The point that it is failing is during the device drivers loading. It never makes it to the repair or start from scratch screen.

Check your RAM. Try reseating the modules. Replace it or try it using 1 memory module at a time in different slots.
If that doesn't do it I would try another hard drive.

The CD will not install on this machine even though it is a dell machine the disk is bad from what I can tell or to old for the machine that it is being installed in. Windows7 loaded just fine with no issues
What kind of system is it? ie, who is the manufacturer. Are you using the CD that came with it?
Good Luck,
