Windows Vista SP1 and XP SP3, more screw ups

Just last few weeks, my system in office have an autodistributed update for Vista SP1. Little did I know of there's some driver conflict after the patch. It resulted in crcdisk.sys and the system just hangs there. Worst part is it takes forever to load the O/S now. I have to format another disk and flash the bios just in case to get system going again. Knowing that, Microsoft have pulled back all auto distribution of SP1 and XP SP3 till things stablized. Best countermeasure to prevent this happening again is :-

  • Setup a restore point and name it before SP1 - before is too late.
  • Get ready some handy bootable cd o/s like BartPE.
  • Do update your Bios - do some research on your BIOS version and articles in web about it.
