Hotfix 817472 fails to replace in-use file Atapi.sys...

[John7]

Hi,

A Win2K pro system suffers from auto fallback from UDMA to PIO mode for all
IDE device controlling drives in standby mode. MSKB hotfix 817472 should fix
the issue but fails because
Atapi.sys is currently in use. The Hotfix aborts. Tried also Safe Mode but
at no avial.

How can I succesfully run hotfix 817472 ?
Could registry key Runonce hotfix... work?


Any help is highly appreciated.

Daemon Tools appeared to have Atapi.sys in use.

I uninstalled Daemon Tools.
