My pc was running perfectly until now. I have my main hard drive, an SSD used for ssd caching, and another hard drive to store extra files
Everything was nice and dandy
Now today I had the wonderful idea to do a windows update.
This sent my PC in a reboot loop and nothing seemed to work.
I used the windows 7 DVD, tried doing all the bootrec functions, but it all seemed hopeless since it didn't even detect that I had a windows installation at all.
I tried diskpart and I couldn't even see my partitions. It appeared as if my entire drive was completely corrupt.
Finally, the only way I was able to boot windows was to physically put my hard drive cables in different sata ports.
Now I can load windows, but I can't use the SSD anymore. At least everything else seems to be working.
But if I put my drives back in the ports where they were before, windows can't boot anymore.
Seriously, all this trouble just caused by a windows update? WTF?
I'm not sure specifically which update caused all this. KB3177467 "failed" to install, and a google search of "KB3177467" seems to indicate a lot of people had boot problems after installing it.
I installed KB2952664 and KB3192403 but I couldn't find much about those, other than some mentions of a "patchocalypse" kind of thing.
So, uhm, what's going on?
And should we avoid using windows update at all?
