My computer won't load my Windows, because some how my PCI Bus Driver got corrupted or deleted or is just being stupid. So is it possible for me to create a MS-DOS boot disk that could install the driver i need, or is it possible, to create a boot CD that has all the drivers on it needed to load my OS so i can get into my Windows, and fix the problem manually?

2. Log on to your computer with an administrator account or with an account that has administrator credentials.

3. Type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:

%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

4. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to restore your computer to an earlier state.

Look for the most recent system checkpoint created before the errors to restore from

Yo, i so wish that would work, but the driver missing is the one that controls my motherboards connections, so i can't access windows through any means.
