It just freezes before 4 particles appears with text 

Starting Windows...

Running in safe mode - it hungs up with last line of text indicating that it is trying to load ataport.sys driver.

Using 32-bit currently, previously had 64-bit. No difference.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Have/can you perform a system restore to a point before the update was applied? (You might find booting with a Windows 7 CD makes this easier). This might get your system working again.

Then, look at my answer to this question to see how to "hide" that update so it is not installed again in the future (or don't if you wish to try again in case it was a failed install, not a conflicting update).
