RE: Boot problem after installing the new update KB941649

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi This happened to my PC running Ultimate last night. I was working on it
and all of sudden just started shutting everything down and said configuring
updates. I thought it was some kind of virus and quickly switched off my PC.
Now I cant boot into Vista at all in safe mode it stops at crcdisk.sys.
Reading these posts it says you can get to the Command prompt, how do I do
that???

Same problem here. Shame on Microsoft, shame, shame shame. I had to use the
following to fix it:

Same problem... vista not booting... (hang on crcdisk.sys). Or if you see
the splash screen, the stupid green bars slide, then stop, slide then stop -
forever.

Fix:
i) Use a restore point from Vista DVD... (Didnt work for me)
iia)If you don't have a restore point or it doesnt work , boot from a Linux
Live CD with NTFS write support and replace *.sys in
%windir%\System32\drivers modified by KB941649 with the original ones or boot
from the install DVD, let it attempt repair, go to command prompt, backup the
following files:

C:\Windows\system32\drivers
back a back dir
backup

acpi.sys
atapi.sys
ataport.sys
battc.sys
compbatt.sys
intelide.sys
msahci.sys
pciidex.sys
wmiacpi.sys

Then overwrite these files with:

http://www.gigasize.com/get.php?d=4tnlckwkhlc
or
http://rapidshare.com/files/61206788/941649fix.rar.html

The filename is:
941649fix.rar

Once those are overwritten in C:\Windows\system32\drivers the machine should
boot. I coundnt find where windows update stores the original files for an
update like in XP (eg, C:\windows\$UPDATE$\ ), so I had to use these original
files.

Once you get back into windows, uninstall that frigging update, and I got my
system back.

This is shameful and unacceptable. The "Problem Solution Reporter" told me
to install this update, and not only did it not improve reliability, it
SCREWED my machine.

I had to go to NEOWIN forums to fix it, Microsoft cant even support its own
product as well as NEOWIN. This is pathetic.

After installing KB941649 and reboot the computer, the screen hang at the
progress bar. I notice that the HDD is not reading, as the HDD LED is off. I
power of the pc and power on it again, choose safe mode, the screen hangs at
the loading diskcrc.sys (I hope I spell it correctly.) I end up booting to
Startup Repair and make a system restore. Vista works again.

My computer is an Intel 945G based MB and a Pentium D processor. 2 giga ram,
WD 160giga SATA 2HDD, AHCI is enabled in BIOS, which I guess is the cause.

I work for Microsoft GCRCSS. My email can be found by searching "Oliver
