When going to Microsoft Update and choosing Custom, as opposed to
Express, there is an optional hardware update called
VIA - Storage - Primary IDE Channel,
which I downloaded and installed. I did this on two computers and in
both cases on restart, Windows would not load. I had to load Windows
using the previous successful configuration. The effect of this was
to start Windows without this update installed. It is still
downloaded, but not installed.
Has anyone else successfully installed this update?
I have a CD which I installed on both computers called USB 2.0 PCI
Host Card (VIA). The only similarity is the VIA. Would this be
relevant? Would there be a conflict? This CD contains a USB driver,
so I can't see what problem that would cause for this Microsoft
update.
One solution would be to not install this update, but that would
leave one hanging around, and I usually just install all of them, as
much of the time I don't know what they mean, and it is easier to
just install them rather than decide which ones to install and which
ones not to.
If others have a problem with this update, then it should be reported
to Microsoft as a problem.

Lots of folk going thru that; check the Updates group if you want the gory
details. So far the only fix I've seen is to uninstall it, or not install
it in the first place.
I had some "fun" with my SATA drives too after the update; can't have
"SATA" in the disk labels, apparently. Renamed the labels & all was well.
Go figger.
