My friend has a computer that she bought from a business. The OS is Windows NT. It was running as a stand alone until she did the critical updates package in response to the last sobig attack. Now her computer won't boot. It appears that it is trying to connect to a network but can't so it delivers error messages. She does not have the NT disk. Is there any hope of undoing what she has done or is there a way to get the machine to run as a stand alone again if she has no disk? Her drive is not partitioned. :x

Can you boot into safe mode?

NT doesn't have safe mode.

GOod luck,

Not much can be done with NT when it goes down. Boot from the CD and try emergency repair, and or press space for last known good configuration. Odds are you are hooped and will just need to reinstall.
