A failed update can't "fry" your hard drive, and it can't keep your computer

from booting from CD. Only hardware failure can do that. Set the BIOS boot

order to boot from the CD drive and put your XP disk in the drive and reboot

the machine. When you see "press any key to boot from CD" press any key.

Follow the instructions in this KB article to perform a manual System Restore:

an update won't FRY your hard drive

If you put that Hard drive on another PC

you will be able to see the data on there

If you can not READ data off of that hard drive

This was not an Update that caused it

It was a hard drive failure

Sorry

Russ

Just because your engine blew up while your car radio played a Beatles song

does not mean that one caused the other. It was pure coincidence, same as it

was pure coincidence that your hard disk failed during or after a Windows

Automatic Update. You need to get rid of your conspiracy theory that Bill

Gates is after you.

If the update breaks your computer and if the link to the fix is the

solution (has anyone verified the fix on a broken system or is it just

a "given"), boot Recovery Console, uninstall the update and be on your

way. I have the update and no problems but maybe we here are not a

member of the non-trival group afflicted.



If you do not have a bootable Windows CD to get into Recovery Console,

that that is not the fault of MS. If you didn't get an XP CD with

your system, you should get one when this is all over.



If you need to boot Recovery Console, make a bootable CD, or if your

system has no CD drive, make a bootable USB device that has RC on it.



If you have no XP media and need to make a bootable Recovery Console

CD to uninstall the update, here are instructions to make one.



http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic276527.html



Making a bootable USB device varies, but your hardware vendor probably

has instructions. This is not a new idea.



I would not implement KB307545 just for this piddly update - unless

uninstalling the single update (a few seconds or time) doesn't work.

That is just my opinion.



If you have no way to boot your system from other than the HDD to deal

with such things, it would be a good idea to learn how or find

somebody that knows how to help/teach about the problem.

Ouch! Please don't yell at us. We can hear you if type normally, in

mixed case.



If you type something in all caps, especially something as long as

that, it makes it very difficult to read. I won't take the extra

trouble to read something like that, and neither will lots of others

here.

i have a cd.. and it works when i install it on peoples pcs.. but when i try

players in my computer.. it just wont let me. when i do try to boot up using

the disk. i get the bsod. and that is my problem, microsoft said they could

fix it for me since it was the update that caused it. but they cant fix it bc

for some reason just like alot of other people i know, it wont allow them to

boot from disc.. and my harddrive is inaccessible.. i can take my hd out..

put it in another pc.. and it wont work... and yet it worked perfectly fine

until that update. im sorry but i dont believe it was coincedence, how could

it be when 20+ people i know or have talked to are going through the same

thing.. not to mention practically everyone who has xp is having the

problem.. hence why its all over the news on the internet. heres another new

You are doing it incorrectly. From your description, you are still

booting off the hard drive!



You need to configure your BIOS so that you boot off the CD:



http://michaelstevenstech.com/bios_manufacturer.htm



What is the make and model of your PC? Certain PCs allow you to enter a

boot menu without needing to enter the BIOS. (For instance, Dell PCs

allow you to press F12 to accomplish this.)

You are making this very difficult; you *still* haven't answered about

the make and model of the PC!



Assuming you did configure the BIOS correctly, when you see this screen:



http://www.pcxmedics.com/blog/images/clean-install-xp-1.jpg



.... you need to press one of the keys on your keyboard in order to boot

off the CD!



If you did press any key and you wind up getting the BSOD, this means

you are *still* booting off the hard drive. Perhaps you need to use a

different keyboard.

I know for a *fact* that MS Support engineers are actually driving to

some folks homes and picking up their computers in order to get to the

bottom of this issue

http://blogs.technet.com/msrc/archi...restart-issues-after-installing-ms10-015.aspx



" In order to get the information we need to fully analyze the issue,

some of our support engineers have actually driven to customer locations

and picked up affected systems so we can get the needed crash data

directly and help inform our investigation. "



The issue is NOT affecting the *vast majority* of XP Users but IS

affecting those whose systems already *have malware present*.



Specifically, it's a variant of this malware that contains a rootkit:



Win32/Alureon

You're wasting your time posting warnings about the update,

"angelkisses420". You should contact MS again and request on site

assistance.

i do not have malware on my computer. Im a programs manager for a company, i

deal with the program aspect, and ive never had any problems with my

computer, i take really good care of it, i run a virus scan a couple times a

day, and i assure you, that i did not have any viruses at least until i did

the windows update, because before i did the update i scanned and everything

was good. and now since the update i can not open windows, im stuck at the

safe mode screen, which never ends and my pc keeps restarting, and i cant

boot from disk, when i do i get the bsod. with a long error message.

You are a Programs Manager?

Have you talked to your IT person on how to set up your PC

to Boot from a CD?

Maybe he can help?
