XP doesnt boot

[laser21]

Hi, I have a new pc-configuration and its driving me crazy. My unattended install disk (ryan vms pack is in it also) works like a charm, but after the first reboot, it wont boot again!

Not even Safe mode. It stops at tdi.sys. Tried replacing it, but it doesnt help.

Finally I found out, that its caused by udpates. When I do a install of an simple XP with only SP2, everything is ok, until I let win connect to the internet and install all updates. Then the same happens as I mentioned before.

This never happened to me before, so it could be also harware related in a way-incompatibility. I dunno.

The best for me, would be finding out, which update does it.

Any help is greatly appreciated, as Im working on it for 4days...

Thanks a lot in forward

Quick question...

Are you installing all of the windows updates or just the critical ones?

I have seen issues with MS Update applying driver changes which causes a machine to fail.

TDI.SYS is one of Microsoft's driver files, so it sounds like one of the patches has corrupted this, or one of your devices needs a different version of the file.

Personally, I would never let windows update anywhere near my driver files.

I just figured it out! It was the oemkrnl.exe, which includes the boot-bitmap. That file got corrupt in a way, and it always stopped booting...no MS fault..this time

Thanks anyway
