  original title: hotfix for KB 2470478 Vista will not install

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion Elite Notebook DV7t-1000 running Vista Home Premium SP2 with all updates installed. To replace my original factory now too small hard drive, I installed a Western Digital Scorpio Black 750 GB hard drive (model number WD7500BPKT). With the help of Acronis True Image Home 2011, I restored the original scores of my system disk (disk Local C: and D: HP_RECOVERY) factory on the new drive.

  The transfer of my system partition and recovery to the new drive more big seems to succeed. The system booted normally and my Office and Windows installations reported to be installed correctly. But when I checked Windows Update, the system reported that the service was not available and offered to restart. I restarted but still, the service reported that it was not available.

  I predicted that this behavior could happen and that he had prepared for her. In my research for the upgrade of my hard drive, I had learned that my new HDD is an 'Advanced Format drive"that uses a sector size of 4K rather than the traditional 512 K sector size. The Microsoft Knowledge Base contains several articles on this issue and the specific article for Windows Vista is 2470478 KB. Following the tips in this article, I waited until what the symptoms of a problem appeared until I tried to install the patch. Disabling the Windows Update service was one of the symptoms that I was looking for.

  The file from the hotfix associated with this Knowledge Base article is a .zip file only when it is extracted product a file called 'Windows6 '. 0-KB2470478-x 86.msu. However, when I try to run this file, I get the following error report: "Setup has encountered an error: 0xc8000222. I tried to turn off my antivirus Norton and restart the system, but all attempts to install this fix have the same error.

  Outside waiting for Microsoft to formalize this fix as an update (part of Vista SP3?) someone has suggestions to make the installation of this hotfix to succeed? While I did not check for other errors related to this problem, my situation of upgrading to the new drive convinced me that my problem is the one indicated in the Knowledge Base article. My original Esent.dll files are significantly older than those reported in the patches section. When I replaced the new drive with my original Windows Update drive normally.

  Outside of reboot or turn off the antivirus protection, someone has suggestions to work around the error to install 0xc8000222 in order to safely install the patch file (. Windows6 0-KB2470478-x 86.msu) for the Microsoft article 2470478 Knowledge Base?

  Thank you for your response.

  I followed the advice in this thread by adjusting to make it use the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista (KB947821), rather than tool for Windows 7. When I tried to run the tool I met the same problem when I tried to install the hotfix: error installing 0xc8000222.

  Because I had the same problem to install the tool on to Windows Vista after I had moved the image of my old drive to the new drive, I saw two choices. See 1) file a journal report as suggested in the thread of Technet or 2) if I could install the hotfix on my original hard drive and then rebuild the disk image for installation on the new hard drive for Advanced formatting.

  After you set a system restore on my source drive point, I chose to install the patch and rebuild the disk image. For security reasons, I installed upgrading preparation system tool for Windows Vista (KB947821) beforehand. When I restored the image of the disk on my new advanced Format drive software seems behaves normally. Windows Update works now and Windows and Microsoft Office indicate that they are enabled. This solved my problem. I also notice a nice increase startup speed on my new drive system.

  The instructions on the fix should not use unless the problem appeared, that I interpreted to mean do not install it on the new Advanced Format HDD unless I saw a problem. However, once I saw the problem, I couldn't install this hotfix or any other Windows Update. Indeed the files included in the fix has featured several hardware drivers rather than standard system software.

  A problem with my approach, is that I had the luxury to regenerate my disk image after the installation of the hotfix. If one is obliged to restore a backup image to due to hardware failure, I don't believe that, after copying the disk image on one of these new Advanced Format drives, we could install the hotfix or the update of all other windows. The fix needs to be improved to the point that it is a standard part of Vista. I'm pretty sure that Microsoft is already planning to do.

  My system works, though if you think it would help, I could always point out my logs in a location of Skydrive for people of Technet.

• A security update cumulative for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista (KB2809289). Error details: Code 8E5E03FA.

  Tried to install the update Cumulative security for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista (KB2809289) and it failed several times.  Error details: Code 8E5E03FA. Tried to disable the firewall and antivirus, nothing helped, also tried to download the update and install it in safe mode, did not help as well. Tried to run Microsoft Fix It, luck is. Can anyone offer any help with this?

  Boris

  Boris

  I had problems too with IE9 and it's updates... as you say all the other updates work I don't think that the Windows Update the question... is IE itself... IMHO...

  For days, I was getting the BSOD and it became progressively worse as the days passed... Now, I have all stable and works very well yet.

  If my suggestion for you is what I did... sort the problem at the source the progam in other - IE there is a form of corruption imho.

  First download and save IE9 to your download folder make sure you have the correct version, for example English Vista 64-bit

  Uninstall the current version... you may have to restart... I suggest you only do it anyway... It is cleaner that way. Then reinstall IE. I suggest that you set up with as few add on the as possible and add them at a later date, as and when you need it, preferably one at a time.

  Once you have reinstalled IE and restarted the kickoff of Windows Update If you have not automatically set to run... and I think that it will update the update of security OK.

  Good luck - let me know

  Follow these steps:

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". "of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista#section_3

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the page following before otherwise connect the machine to a network or the internet and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

  NB: Any Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the removal tool before installing updates, Windows Service Packs, or updates IE and before installing your new anti-virus application.

  If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.
