Re: Windows Update failed on KB935509

I had dual boot with grub. Linux and Vista on the same hard-disk. Grub
chainloaded the vista bootloader.

This is my fix to it:
Download and use EasyBCD to restore the Vista Bootlader in the MBR, or if
necessary use the Vista recovery dvd as well.
Use EasyBCD to add a record to the vista bootloader pointing to my linux
root/boot partition and let it install the neogrub bootloader.
Also use EasyBCD to set the vista bootloader timeout to like 5secs so I
don't have to actively select OS or wait 30secs

All set to go. Vista loader does the master booting and the updates are
happy and install successfully. Vista loader also points to linux "grub"
loader which points to linux, linux failsafe AND back to vista ;P (from when
grub was still the primary loader).

It's a bit more complex/redundant than the reverse setup (grub pointing to
the vista bootloader) and I might switch back now that the updates ares set.

Same problem but I found another solution. I have a dual disk system, with
vista installed on the second disc; boot manager grub.
After several update failures - install, reboot vista, automatic reboot,
install failure - I choose boot from second disc in BIOS boot menu, so
skipping grub. With this no problems during update procedure were noticed.
