After Applying SP4 Network, to Pro Machine = STOP Error

Hello.

Did a clean install of W2K Pro on an old Compaq machine. It did its thing,
then reboot fine. Then installed SP4 Network Install, and it did its thing,
reboot, then I get a STOP 0x7b Inaccessible Boot Device.

Anyone know what might be causing this. The Machine is an older Compaq
Presario 5838 with a Athalon SLOT CPU. After the fresh install of W2k Pro, I
went right to the SP4. Didn't install any drivers or anything like Chipset
Drivers.

Itâ€™s an AMD 751 Chipset with a Belkin network card as well. If you have any
ideas, please help!!

Thanks

Hi Courtney
If your problem has yet not been resolved, I would like to try my bit. The
problem you are facing is because when sp4 was in the process of updating
your protected system files, something(may be antivirus) intervened as it may
have some handles open on some of them. Because of this there might have been
some file version mismatch between %systemroot%\system32 and
%systemroot%\system32\dllcache. Could you please let me know the whole stop
code along with the parameters in the parantheses and the file reported, if
any.
