SP1 Installation 0x0000008E error

jaskaran

Hi, I updated my PC from Windows Update to SP1 and restarted my PC. I suddenly get a continuous BSOD at the bootscreen, which then restarts my PC. I have tried safemodes and they do not work. NEED HELP!!!!

This is what the BSOD says for Technincal Information:

***STOP: 0x0000008E (0x0000005, 0x83AC453F, 0x80399A15, 0x00000000)

Welcome to Icrontic. We've written a guide that specifically deals with all the potential causes of this issue: http://tech.icrontic.com/articles/fix-the-0x0000008e-bsod-once-and-for-all

Ya but the numbers are different arent they :S?

The only important number is the 0x000000008E.. the numbers after it don't mean anything.

You received an 8E stop error.

Oh does that guide work for Vista Home Premium?? Also is there anyway to get my files because I think I saw something about using Ubuntu, but I don't know what that is
