New Windows XP SP2 Update (KB898439) - Unofficial
A new unofficial hotfix is now available for Windows XP SP2. Unofficial means that this hotfix is not yet officially downloadable from the MS Download Center or Microsoft Update. It is however 100% genuine.
Title: If you set the ATA_FLAGS_48BIT_COMMAND ATA flag, the returned PreviousTaskFile member is incorrect in Windows Server 2003 or in Windows XP
Symptoms: You can use the IOCTL_ATA_PASS_THROUGH structure or the IOCTL_ATA_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT structure to send raw ATA commands to disk drives in a program. The ATA_FLAGS_48BIT_COMMAND ATA flag is introduced to enable 48-bit Logical Block Addressing (LBA) support in these structures. However, if you set the ATA_FLAGS_48BIT_COMMAND ATA flag in these structures, the returned PreviousTaskFile member in the ATA_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT structure or in the ATA_PASS_THROUGH_EX structure is incorrect in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or in Microsoft Windows XP.
Cause: This problem occurs because of a bug in the Atapi.sys file. The bug causes the PreviousTaskFile member to be populated with incorrect data.
The English version of this hotfix has the file attributes: Atapi.sys v5.1.2600.2714. Get the download via the headline link at Rapidshare. Click on "Free" and wait a few seconds for the download link to appear. It's free. Use this hotfix at your own risk.
