I've tried all the recommendations: other updates all installed, anti-virus disabled, system update readiness tool, etc, etc, etc. No luck at all installing this service pack. It just fails every time.

I have tried to install this update six times today (07/05/12) after it was flagged as an important update this morning. Looking at my update history it also failed to instal on the 18th October last year but it has not bothered me since and i have not noticed it until now. Of the seven attempts I had the following error codes from earliest to latest : 800B0100, 80246007, 80010108, 8024200D, 8024200D, 8024200D, 8024200D. I have followed advice from MS running KB947821 and FIX IT also disabled my Norton 360 firewalls and auto protect but to no avail. Also I do not have a DVD with Windows 7 as it was not supplied with my PC and I don't want to restore my computer and lose all my installed software.
View 3 Replies View Relatedsince the past 2 weeks i have been trying to install windows 7 sp1. When i use automatic updates sp 1 gets downloaded properly but while insalling i get the error 8024200D. I have used the system update readiness tool and microsoft fix it. Still the same error.
Here are the problems that i could find in CBS log SPI: (SPIRegQueryDWORDValue:400)Failed to open the registry root: n/a, key: SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionSetupServicePackSP1. er=0x2.
After i could not resolve this problem i decided to download and run the standalone installer of sp1. Then i got the error 8007000d while downloading windows6.1-KB976932-X86.cab.
I also tried installing in both ways in clean boot with all services except microsoft disabled. Still the same error. And i want to know if sp1 will be required to run upcoming and latest games??
I have had problems with failed Windows Updates for the past 3 months or so. I tried the windows update troubleshooter and it did not work. I tried to perform a clean boot and install the updates, it also did not work. I was able to successfully install a few updates to the .NET Framework by completely uninstalling it and then re-installing it (and double checking that it installed properly). At the moment I have 17 updates that fail to install and they pretty much all deal with microsoft office 2010. The only two not related to microsoft office are:
Update for Windows 7 (KB2545698)
Update for Windows 7 (KB2547666)
I don't know what else to do. I currently have Windows 7 Professional x64. I bought the computer in March of this year and have not made any major changes. The only updates I have are from Windows Updates and the last time they successfully installed (besides the .NET Framework I just fixed) was 21/10/11 and it was a hotfix for windows (KB2482122) problems really started around 19/07/2011 (more than a few updates failed).
I've just tried twice to install Win7 Service Pack 1 on a relative's Acer desktop PC - which runs ZoneAlarm anti-virus, but has very little else apart from Word installed. Each time, the download and install process seemed to go OK; however, when the system rebooted, it displayed the Windows startup logo, but at the point where the logo goes away and you expect to see the mouse appear, it just froze with a blank grey screen. I left it for a while, but nothing happened. Eventually, I power-cycled the PC and an error message was displayed and a Windows boot selection was offered: Repair (recommended) or Start Normally.
Choosing 'Start Normally' repeated the boot and freeze sequence. Choosing 'Repair' started the startup repair procedure, which failed with 'The operating System is incompatible with Startup Repair'. Trying the 'Advanced Restore' procedure reported 'No restore points', although I had explicitly created one before the update, and the update itself creates one. I managed to fix it by running 'Startup Repair from the original Windows 7 installation DVD. The PC works fine now, but Service Pack 1 isn't installed. I have had to turn off automatic updates so that it won't get installed. Failing that, is there a way to disable the 'Service Pack 1' entry in 'Windows Updates' so that automatic updates can be enabled?
I have just received an alienware m17x, and for my school network we need windows 7 pro installed. I used my action pack dvd and tried upgrading. It failed. I then wiped my main drive my booting into the dvd, and fresh re installing windows. I've done this multiple times, and everytime it comes up saying it needs to restart, then upon restart says 'completing installation' -
but then it comes up saying 'windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware' then restarts and says 'windows could not complete the installation. To install windows on this computer, restart the installation' - then restarts, shows me a boot option of four windows 7's and a windows setup rewind or mething, then shows the windows could not complete message again.
I have a clean hard drive in the computer and when i try to install win 7 get boot failure. I have tried multiple times with the same results.

I attempted to install the latest RTM release. I assumed that this would be easy as RC-1 was a breeze. Installing RC-1 I used the ISO extract to DVD at Slow Speed, did the same procedure here.
In BIOS I made the boot priority the CD/DVD drive as primary.
I inserted my media into the BD drive and saw the prompt: " Touch any Key to boot fromCD". Did that. The Media began to initialise but it was extremely slow, 3-4 minutes. The screen with company mast and working bars took a few minutes. After that the wallpaper came up with a mouse pointer. I was able to move the mouse around and after another few minutes I saw the Logo screen with Language and keyboard US.
The Windows Install Prompt was next and I executed the install. After a few more minutes I see the "SET UP STARTING". After a few more minutes I get a new screen w/"Load Driver".Required driver for CD/DVD is missing.
The installer scanned the media disc but there was no driver to be found.
I uploaded 2 images for everyone to see.
Is any forum member here have a work around?
I attempted to install my drivers from my sys_32 folders from a thumb drive but no joy.
Since RC-7 was such a snap I assumed this install would be as easy also.
I was on my way to install Freemake video conversion tool and it requires .NET 4.0, which isn't on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 mule, so it fetched the installer and I ran it. It failed to install throwing a fairly generic code "file not found".I have been doing some searches and the problem/s with such are plenteous. the various methods i've seen have spotty success, and too often end with "why don't you nuke the drive and reinstall 7".

Here's a screenshot to show the updates that aren't working. (If you can't see it, right click the "broken link" symbol and click "open image in new tab/window")
I originally was failing 14 updates with 800b0100 and one other error code (forgot which). I went with manually installing them, and it took it down to 5 updates fail to install with only error code 800b0100.

I had some unstable RAM settings when first setting up the computer, where I think an update or so was occuring and the system crashing. Pretty sure only during the download process though.Anyways, I've done everything on this that I can find. SFC Scannow, System Update Readiness Tool, Reset content of catroot2, Remove any incorrect registry (none of the stuff they say to delete was even in there), The only step that did not go 100% smoothly was "Register the Windows Update Files":
REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL /S REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUCLTUX.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUWEBV.DLL /S
REGSVR32 JSCRIPT.DLL /S
REGSVR32 MSXML3.DLL /S
On the bolded ones, I get: Quote: This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is laready installed, create an assocation in the Default Programs control panel. and the Rename Pending.xml (there is no pending.xml file, cmd says cant find it, etc).Turned off firewall and AV (WSE), renamed software distribution folder, Clear BITS queue, ran update 958056 (the tool that takes forever), ran chkdsk, ran disk cleaner.Also, every once in a while, when trying to "Try Again" on the updates, it'll say "Windows update success! Updates unnecessary' or something like that. Then I hit check for updates, and those updates become necessary once again, and, all those language packs and remote desktop optional updates that I hid, become unhidden again.
Here's the problem, when I boot up my genuine Windows 7 Ultimate DVD, and I get to the select partition screen and select one, it gives me the following error : Windows could not format a partition on disk 0. The error occured while preparing the partition selected for installation. Error code: 0x80070057
I've tried what they outlined in this thread, [URL] When I get to formatting the drive in Command Prompt it just stalls at 0% and says diskpart has encountered an error; the parameter is incorrect. see the system event long for more information.
I've tried changing SATA to IDE instead of AHCI in bios.
I've tried using a recovery disk for my Acer 3830tg, but it just stalls at 0%. I've tried using a genuine Vista Ultimate DVD, but it doesn't even detect a disk drive. It's a Corsair Force Series 90GB SSD F90 in an Acer 3830tg-6412 with 8GB of RAM.
Oh the SSD works fine, I was able to boot it up and run everything fine prior to trying to do a fresh install, which in hindsight is stupid
I have just bought a brand new hard drive due to my last ones controller failed.
Western Digital Caviar Black 500gb
So the problem,
Did a fresh install of win 7 (Build 7229) two nights ago, all installed perfectly, next day (yesterday) went to boot up pc and had the dos error message - Disk boot failure, please insert system disk and press enter.
My first impression was it may have been an install failure, so i formatted the hard drive and reinstalled. shutdown the PC and rebooted up and i had the same error message, now after this, i got my failed hard drive out and after a lot of faffing around, BIOS found it and it gave me the same error message.
Can anyone tell me what the problem might be. I have tried Windows startup repair, did not fix.
BIOS settings are
First boot device is Hard drive
second boot device is CD-ROM
(I have even swapped these around to boot from windows 7 and it just starts the setup procedure of installing windows drivers) I have even set boot order of HDDs so my main windows HDD is up top. Anyone got any clues.
So I have spent the last few days troubleshooting the problem, I have tried most of the solutions I have found online, but still I get the 0x80070570 error at 14% of the install process. I have reformatted the hd prior to trying as well.some random observations:I have run hd diagnostics and everything passedI notice that in the BIOS setup utility that there are 3 SATA HDDs listed though I only have the one 'internal one' and no peripheralsI have downloaded and burned (and burned to USB) the .ISO file about five times with the same resultI haven't tried removing RAM because I only have one chip (4 gb) and I assume I cant have 'no' RAM to proceedAs I am sure you can imagine, it is driving me absolutely crazy.

I have the problem of failure to configure windows, i have seen a few posts on here about people solving this problem but i am a bit of a noob so was hoping i could get some 1 on 1 help.I was stuck in a loop for a while in that i would get to the failure to configure windows screen and it would either restart or would just stay on that screen for hours. i have now somehow got onto my laptop (don't ask me how! just luck i guess) but i was wondering if there was something i could do to stop it happening again. until that time i will be trying to leave my laptop turned on.
View 5 Replies View Relatedmy PC is refusing to start up. It happened yesterday after the power had flickered, I turned off my computer because the battery it was hooked up to was yelling at me (due to the power flicker). On the startup, my PC just hangs after "Verifying DMI Pool Data", and then gives me the "DISKBOOT FAILURE, PLEASE INSERT DISC AND PRESS ENTER" to continue shenanigans.
I've cleaned out my computer and have tried unplugging my two external hard-drives, as well as going into the BIOS and making sure the boot order was correct. When I insert a Windows boot disc, it refuses to 'repair' my system because it says there's no specified OS to repair... I thought the problem was that it wasn't recognizing my actual hard-drive, but that doesn't seem to be the case, (I forgot how I got to it but,) it recognized that I had 183/500 GB of space left (as well as being able to view certain files.
I recently was able to get into DOS, where it's listing my main drive as "X:windows\system32". Could this be the problem? If so, how did it reassign it to "X: and why did it do that?!
I turned the laptop off by holding the power on button depressed for as long as it took to power down.I have done this many times before.This time the laptop will not start windows after power up. Win 7 offers 2 options, normal or startup repair.Both appear to run but stay on permanently and neither will start windows. Tried booting using the repair disk and laptop will not boot from CD. CD spins initially but without booting. Only thing I can see that is not normal is that after several seconds trying to boot the Disk led remains permanently on, at least to my eyes.I have removed the battery, powered up without the battery,tried different repair CD all to no avail.
