If I do that, the machine will immediately demand to be updated, with the maximum pause being 7 days. In my case I just had a bootable USB flash drive, and it wouldn’t work. I made a new one (downloaded from Microsoft today), but it has the update that kills the computer (likely by breaking a driver.)
For more info., see the thread I linked to just above, in my comment just above. :-)
Replied to other thread. Try the Hiren’s BootCD, carefully.
MS is evil.
