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.

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. |
