Hi

I have been using Windows Xp for the past 3 years without any problem
I suddenly found some 8 extra simple PCI device entries "PCI Simple
Communications Controller".
I formatted all thee partitions and started re-installing Windows XP,
but every time at "34 Minutes" remaining the Installation stops with some
error message.
I then tried to install Windows 2003 Serve and it went through without
any hitch.
I see these extra Simple PCI Devices at the boot (BIOS).
Can someone guide on how i can remove these Devices or Install Windows
XP without running into the above mentioned problem.

I am using AMD 2000 XP Processor
