Yes, it happened to me to .. a solution to reapply the patch, see below:

Luckly Apple is UNIX based; Sadly, the Apple supports do not seem to take advantage of it and tried to resolve problem Microsoft Windows way - to 'always' ask users to re-format the harddisk and re-install.

Apple Boot Camp - Test out!
Actually, I am working on a Mac Mini (Dore Duo) porject for making it a Live Casting portable machine. I think it is a real good fit! However, since having this oppertunity, I am tetsing out the Apple Boot Camp as well .. why not! Only 10G space..
The process is pretty easy on the OS X side:
1. Update OS X to the most recent - that is what users should do anyway.
2. Download the Fireware upgrade. This is a little tricky if you do not read the instruction carefully. Download -> Install -> Shutdown (yes. it means shutdown; so, you have to power it on - this could be some inconvience for PC users) -> Power On, BUT make sure to HOLD the power button until the power lite flashing - that means the fireware upgrade is taking place.
3. Download Apple Boot Camp 'software.' Yes, you need to download and install it. Once that is done, you will then click on the Boot Camp utility to start installation of Windows XP. - I forgot where it asks to repartition, but somewhere is the process. By the way, do not forget to make a Mac Drive CD when it asks if you do not have one yet.
4. For XP users, the installation is the same as on PCs.
Lessons learnt:
1. No 64bit XP yet. Tried, but rejected.
2. Thinking of XP Media Center. I would think that should work since it is XP based. NO - there are TWO installation CDs. It is not supported. Why????
So far,
I still want to try Vista (32bit) and Linux when my time allows....
