My system has two hard drives both bootable with xp pro on them

It appears the message I got was identified in Q327120
Windows Service Pack 1 has detected that one or more protected files on your computer have been modified. The Service Pack contains updated versions of those files, which work to provide a stable environment for your programs

If you click Yes, the updated versions will overwrite the current files and you might lose certain customizations created by third-party programs, especially those that affect the graphic displayed when your computer starts up

If you click No, the computer might fail or stop responding

For more information, see Knowledge Base article <Q327120> at http://support.microsoft.com

Do you want to overwrite the files?

Well I did overrite the file and even booting in safe mode gives me nothing on the screen other then the safe mode text in the 4 conrners and the OS version as XP Sp1

How do I uninstall or roll this patch out

Anyone have any suggestions
