10/20: Update: we have received reports that before installing this patch to Dell Optiplex GX-150 and GX-150 computers running Windows 2000, the Intel Ultra ATA storage driver (IntelATA.sys) may need to be uninstalled. Otherwise the computer may not reboot properly. Booting the computer to safe mode and using the Control Panel Add/Remove programs function to uninstall the driver should resolve the problem.
