Hi everyone.
I've got a problem with Windows Update on Vista (running on an Acer Aspire 5100 laptop (5102AWLMi)) having updated a SATA driver and it now crashes every time it tries to boot up.
I've tried every single option on the screen you get by pressing the
F8 key at bootup and it still crashes, about 2 seconds into the loading screen. I've printed the
STOP error message below. . There is an Acer eRecovery partition on the drive that I booted from but it will just reflash the hard drive to what it was out of the factory and I don't feel like spending hours reinstalling software on it.
I'm a linux guy personally and I've booted a LiveCD on it (with NTFS write support) and I want to use it to replace the broken SATA drivers with the ones from the
recovery partition, except I don't know what their filenames are and a Google search doesn't reveal much.
So, does anyone know the filenames for Vista's SATA drivers? Many thanks in advance.
This is what the STOP screen says (just in case I'm wrong):
A problem has been detected ...
