Another Update:
I was able to get into the windows recovery mode using the original DELL XP
disk that came with the computer. As I looked around in the windows
directory I found the following:
6/15/09 12:48a $NtUninstallKB968537$
6/15/09 12:15a KB969897-IE7.log
6/15/09 12:15a KB970238.log
6/15/09 12:49a KB968537.log
So it seems like these were the last 3 windows updates and KB968547 was
probably the one it crashed on.
In the KB970238.log file this is an error which states KB968537.ver file not
of correct date or version or something like that.
Can I use the unistall file somehow? Or download a batch file which will
finishing loading the proper update files.
The NTBTlog.txt file also had the header
SP2 5 15 2009
and Agpcpq.sys was the last driver loaded.
Not sure if this means anything to anyone out there, but I'm hopeful :-)
Thanks,
Nat
