Well, after installing the patches recommended by Windows Update my 
machine won't boot.  It gives me a stop error complaining about an 
inaccessible boot device.

Ruh-roh Microsoft......

Has anyone else seen this behavior?  Thank god I test all patches on a 
disposable box before applying them elsewhere.
