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.
