Wouldn't be the first time, have you tried backing out the updates or will they even boot at all now?

I went to windows update today and after I restarted it wouldn't boot into windows. I had to use last known working config like you did. I've never had this happen before.

According to information that I have received it appears to be due to a hardware update for VIA Primary IDE Channel (Device ID = 20000477).

I got that update for my Dell notebook. There is nothing via in it at all, so i blocked it from showing up again.

I work for a large OEM in tech support and that's what was handed down. I was sort of wondering why VIA IDE drivers would be installed on our systems since they don't use VIA chipsets at all. Sounds like a case of mistaken identity and Windows update may be replacing the Intel IDE drivers with Via ones, making the hard drive inaccessible.

It happened on my other computer as well.
