Yesterday i came across bsod: attempt made to write to read only memory = rootkit on startup. I had gone through a number of solutions all over the web and have sorted it out my own. I just thought of posting the workaround here so one looking after a fix for this issue might get instant help from it.
Workaround:
- Boot from mini xp boot disk, go in to system32/drivers and check if you see any *.sys file that might have got changed. It was a random named file and an atapi.sys in my case and it is likely to remain same for others running in to same issue as well.
- After that Google out atapi.sys,download the latest one, delete both random named file and atapi.sys and save the latest downloaded atapi.sys in their place and you are done.
