Download the file and burn the iso file to a disc using ImgBurn the same way you created the Recovery Console disc.

Once you have completed the above boot from the disc and enter Recovery Console. Follow the instructions I previously posted to run fixboot and fixmbr on page 1 of this thread.

I have set sata controllers to run in Pata mode, found an old IDE cd drive and I am still getting the PCI.sys bsod

I think I found your manual:

It looks like you have an Award BIOS, which you can access by pressing the Delete key immediately after turning on the PC (tap it several times to make sure).

See p. 50 to disable SATA.
