Can not boot XP at all - Getting Bluescreen error

Anonymous

Hi all,

I am running XP SP3 on a Dell Vostro 1510 A10 BIOS with a SATA drive and Intel Core2 Duo CPU (warranty is expired). I recently got malware and removed it, with some experienced help, using ComboFix and HijackThis. It was successfully removed, computer rebooted, and Kaspersky online virus scan showed no more problems. Then windows updater (which was disabled by the virus) downloaded and installed updates. Yes, I see several people are having similar problems. On the next reboot attempt after installing the updates, I got a BSOD, error codes 0x0000007E (0xC000001D, 0x80537008, 0xBA4CF3B8, 0xBA4CF0B4). I cannot enter safe mode - system freezes during list of drivers - last driver listed is mup.sys. I cannot enter windows recovery - another BSOD with error code 0x0000007B. I cannot get into the HD to recover my data, so I do not really want to completely re-install. Oh, my systems diagnostics say the HD is ok. I appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Try this...

Symptoms: Computer started, loaded raid drivers and showed the XP startup screen for a half-second then went to BSOD with a Stop Error Code of 0x0000007E - many users also seeing (0xC0000001D, 0x----------, etc) as well.

Solution: 

  1. Boot from your Windows XP CD and start the recovery console. You may need to press F6 while RC loads in order to load SATA drivers; you will then have a c:\WINDOWS console prompt.
  2. Type: CD $NtUninstallKB977165$\spuninst (this is the update I had to uninstall to get out of the boot loop, other updates may be uninstalled by changing the directory name to $NtUninstallKBCODE$, where KBCODE is the KB code)
  3. Type: BATCH spuninst.txt
  4. Type: exit

Be sure to set your system to boot from the HD before resuming. Hope this helps. Saved me a lot of hassle today.

If that doesn't work, MS also issued updates for KB978262, KB971468, KB978037, KB975713, KB978251, KB978706, KB 975560 and KB 977914 last night.  You can insert those codes in place of the KB above and try until you get a solution.

    Angelkisses420 is WRONG.

    Dont listen this ____.

    If you found this website, then your well on your way to getting your problem resolved. The promlem was that this updated, COMBINED with an infected system of the Alure virus caused a crash. The fix is doable, and the answer is OUTLINED in the steps above. You did not lsoe your photos and music as Angelkisses420 has stated. Microsoft hung up on him and called him an *****...I wonder why.

    Dont listen to him. Follow the steps above or print thsi webpage and hand it to your local computer guru to get the update UNDONE.

    The easiest way is to remove the hard drive, put the hard drive into another computer and repalce the 4 files that are causing the problem.

    Here it is again....I have fixed this issue on 4 systems (I have hundreds to manage, luckily id didnt happen to more than 4)

    In these instruction, my operating system was on the "I" drive. on most, the operating system will be on the 'C" drive, so use these instructions to delete and copy files from the C drive, not the i drive.

    If you cant do this, get somebody who can load your hardd rive onto there system and then perform the steps below MANUALLY

    delete 4 files

    then COPY the files in the first part of the steps to the location in the second part of the step.

    When you see the .000 you will have to delete the file in the new location FIRST, then copy the file to the new lcoaiton, then RENAME the file without the .000

    COPY  "I:\WINDOWS$NtUninstallKB977165$\spuninst\spuninst.txt" "I:\WINDOWS$NtUninstallKB977165$\spuninst\spuninst.tag"

    There are instructions IN THIS thread to perform a BATCH uninstall, for some people that will be easier.

    Final instructions....once done...TURN OFF auto updates....for now.

    1 of my comptuers, got it a second time and it was harder the second time around then the first...dont ask why, its a long stopry, but in short the unstall fiels dont install correctly the second time, so you dont want this to happen TWICE. OUCH!

    Good luck everybody.

    1- for all those people out there saying "its just in ur head, nothings wrong with mine" youre lucky. alot of people told me i was just making it up, when the update royally screwed my pc..

    2- microsoft says theyll help, but beware, they will tell you its your fault, its a hardware issue, you need to take it to your manufacturer, or to a pc tech, and they will not pay, or theyll tell you the only reason the update messed up your pc, is because it was either infected with a virus, malware, spyware, adware.. (EVEN THOUGH IT WASNT"

    3- if youre one of those people out there, who's computer has crashed because the update, and it wont let you boot from disk. it wont give you that option, im sorry but you wont be able to save your pictures & files (unless you wanna pay $1200 or more).. but to at least have a running computer, im sorry but you wont get to have xp.. my computer had that problem.. and it wouldnt boot from the xp disk.. and i tried 10 different disks.. microsoft argued that it was hardware, or my fault.. or that the update messed up my pc due to malware & etc.. i argued with them.. the guy was a paki, who decided to tell me to speak english, even though he couldnt speak a lick of english. so he argued, and called me a ____ and then hungup on me.. so microsoft isnt really helpful..

    ANYWHO.. those who cant boot from disk to correct the problem.. the only choice is to either A) throw your pc out in the trash.. or B) load vista or 7 on it.. its the only way youll get it to work.. im sorry but its true.. i couldnt load xp.. at all.. but vista and 7 works.. i wish i could give good news.. but..  im sorry... thats the only option i know of..

    GOOD LUCK

    Can you help me?  I was going to try what you suggested and really screwed it up.  I did the system recovery and now it is back to when I got it from the factory.  I suppose I have to live with that...but it said it would save stuff in a back up file.  I can see the file, but have no idea how to get the stuff back.  It is on my C drive listed as My Backup -- 10-02-13-1042am.  I am so frustrated.

    comp32, the CD in question is your original Operating System Reinstallation CD that you should get when you purchase a new computer with an OS installed, or when you purchase a new OS.
