I just tried to apply the latest critical updates to my Windows 2000 Adv
Server and the updates were saved temporarily on my USB drive. When Windows
2000 boots to install the updates, an INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error occurs
since the USB driver to access the updates has not been loaded (internal USB
not on motherboard). How to I correct the update to NOT put the temporary
files on my USB drive and to now remove the status that an update is needed
so I can boot.

As an update, I removed the USB drive before running the update and still had
the same problem. The problem this time was caused by a change in the DRIVE
LETTERS. The Drive Letter associated with my active Windows 2000 Server
system drive being updated was changed to the drive letter for a Windows 2003
Server system drive on the same computer that has not yet been installed
completely yet (i.e a multi boot system). Apparently, this caused the boot
failure. After restoring the System State files and changing the drive
letter to the correct value, I was able to recover.
