atapi in use error when installing SP1

08-22-2004

Whenever I install SP1 it says that atapi.sys is in use and it wont let me
continue my install. Ive tried to close all of my running progams like steam
but nothing worked. I was wondering if someone knows if this is a bug or has
had the same problem and knows how to fix it.

I just deleted it [someones suggestion]
and the update continued just fine
no ill effects todate.
