Lose drive mapping after Sasser.worm patch application

[will2k]

Hi,

Having just applied the sasser worm patch to all our pc's, half of them lost one of their drive mappings (T incidentally, not that it should make a difference). Now, even though they keep getting remapped, after a reboot they always lose it again.

The "reconnect at logon" box is ticked.
I have tried the command line version with the /presistent:yes switch and still no joy.

I realise that we could introduce a login script but that would be a workaround and i'd rather solve the problem.

Any ideas???

Have you tried booting on your XP cdrom, going into Recovery Console,
and doing a fixmbr ?

otherwise you could boot a win98 floppy and do a fdisk /mbr

no,

but i don't really see why that might work?

Have you experienced this problem before?

No I have not.

sounds like you got something in your MBR causing confusion to windows.
Anytime disk manager and explorer don't play together, there's something fishy going on with your partitions.
