So you say that you place "a diff hd in it" and it will then boot from the CD? A simple yes or no will suffice.

From: Daave on 12 Feb 2010 14:38 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.

From: MowGreen on 12 Feb 2010 15:41 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/archive/2010/02/12/update-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 http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?name=Win32%2fAlureon http://www.prevx.com/blog/139/Tdss-rootkit-silently-owns-the-net.html Read the Comments here: http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=8209#comment You're wasting your time posting warnings about the update, "angelkisses420".
