If I have Win 7 Home Premium (64bit), can I still copy bootcat.cache file from a PC with Win 7 Ultimate (64bit)?

original title: BSOD 0x0000006B - Work-around does NOT resolve issue - Win7 Pro x86
Running Windows 7 Pro x86 on an Asus EeePC 1000HE. I haven't had a blue screen in three months. Shocking. Now, when booting (normally, safe mode, whatever) after the loading screen, before the user password screen, a blue screen appears.
PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED
STOP: 0x0000006B (0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
I have checked the numbers many times and have pictures of the screen to verify (taken from my phone). I tried the work-around as described in KB981833 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981833). I used an Ubuntu 8 LiveCD to navigate to /Windows/System32/CodeIntegrity/ and deleted the Bootcat.cache file. After several reboots, the blue screen still persists with the same error codes and the Bootcat.cache files has not reappeared. I can confirm that it is not a hardware problem because the other OSs (Mac OSX 10.6.1. Eeebuntu) still boot and operate normally off the same hard drive. This is just a Windows problem. (Suprise, suprise)
Also, the startup repair on the Windows 7 install disc found nothing and did nothing.

If coping Bootcat.cache from another computer will work so would just deleting the existing
version (boot from a boot disk) and then reboot as normal.
See workaround here :
"Stop error code 0x0000006B PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED" error message during startup
on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
Like the author, I had tried that first but it made no difference. The only way to fix it was to copy from another computer.
