A couple of days ago, I downloaded & attempted to install update KB938979.
The system went to reboot during the update process, but came up with the
error in the subject. I've tried all the bcdedit fixes that I've found in
these discussion pages as well as those in Microsoft TechNet. I've also
tried copying a new winload from C: to D: (I'm running currently on my C:
that I've loaded with my Vista Ultimate upgrade disk, but I had to do it
without entering the product key, so the clock is ticking).
One thing that I haven't seen posted that happened during the KB update - E:
was my boot drive before the update, now it's showing up as D: (D: contained
music files which are now in E. The XP backup folder is in D: with the
rest of my original Vista load and I can't seem to find my XP disks to reload
as an upgrade. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get my original
Vista back? It ran fine until this upgrade. Is it possible to use a Vista
upgrade disk against the files in the XP backup folder, so it will accept my
product key?
