The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device ACPI\ACPI0008\4

Can this error message be ignored? I'm seeing this on a lot of our imacs running win 7 x64 on a boot camp partition.

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Windows 7, x64

I have the same Problem and everytime I shut down windows the hard drive makes a "wheep" and the next start up in windows is in recovery mode.


on startup:

1. The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

2. The UMDF reflector was unable to complete startup because the WUDFPf service was not found. This service may be started later during boot, at which point Windows will attempt to start the device again.

3. The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device ACPI\ACPI0008\4&306c1efa&0.
