  You can not install Vista Service pack 2 and get the error with code 800f0a09 and the message that there are problems with the driver for dell latitude.

  The problem may occur if some of the components of the update are corrupt.

  What is the full error message that you receive?

  I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below to check if the problem is with the update components:

  Method 1: Reset the update components

  See the site:

• Acer aspire has stopped working after I installed vista service pack, a

  After installing Vista service pack 1, I was unable to restart my computer. Nothing has worked. I went through the Startup Repair, but it ran all night and nothing. I have no disk, so I tried to do a system restore, but still nothing. I know very little computers if you can give me some details step by step on the following questions would be most appreciated.
  

  (1) how do I back up my data

  (2) how to restore my system

  If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons). +

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11, Acer is normally Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash, when you are replaying the ad.

  .

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• Having problems installing Vista Service Pack 1, says that it is installed but not shown in the installed updates

  Problem of re - install windows service pack 1 KB936330.

  I had to format the hard drive and reload the operating system.  Windows stopped to Service Pack 1.

  I have a Windows Update if it is available for updates.

  When I click on it, updating starts, then gives me the window on the acceptance of the agreement, then a window that could take up to an hour and will restart so save the job.  When I click the grateful this last window, the update screen comes back and says that it has been installed.

  But I can not find the Service Pack 1 or KB936330 on the list of updates installed on Control Panel / programs and features / installed updates window.

  Help.  I can't update to IE 7 because the Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2 are not installed on my system.

• Can I upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista without having to install Vista Service Pack 1?

  Several years ago, I made the huge mistake of update Win XP Pro to Win Vista Ultimate. In doing so, I immediately fell on so many questions that I spent more time each day trying to solve problems, to do the calculation and in some cases it was practically impossible to calculate all. It took about a dozen days before I have just abandoned, thrown my Windows machine into the closet and balance to a Mac. I've not looked back since.

  Well, relatively recently I bought a new laptop from lenovo with the intentions of immediately wiping of Windows 7 and Linux installation, with the hope of avoiding the headaches that I had previously with Windows. However, just out of curiosity, I decided to try Windows 7 before cleaning off the coast of the laptop and I have not had any major problems with it. So, I'm now thinking that I can dust off that Vista machine (the one that was put in the closet), if I can only he move to Windows 7.
  Almost immediately after plugging the thing, the headaches have come back with a vengeance.  I ran the Win 7 Upgrade Advisor, which basically said that everything was fine and that all that I had to do was to install Service Pack 1. Well, there is no service pack 1 in Windows update so I just downloaded the standalone file.  However, after trying to run the stand alone file, he said something to the effect that I can't because it is for installations of Windows language English, French, German and Spanish. He said in English, you the spirit, and it does because I have an English version of Windows.
  I'm now thinking that there could be another language pack on my computer so I googled how to uninstall language packs. The only information I can find on how to uninstall the language packs is to insert the Windows installation disc. I don't have the installation disc. There are years I paid an arm and a leg for a software that was virtually unusable.
  Is that anyway to upgrade to Windows 7 without having to deal with Vista and still not the upgrade price? I'm certainly not going to pay for the full version, as the last time, I would have probably had a better experience if I would have just thrown money into the fire. I don't understand why we should stop both to upgrade the operating system.
  I paid for Windows Vista and now I'm ready to pay to upgrade to Windows 7 because Vista doesn't help, but I can't because the Windows Vista I paid for is once again, pretty useless.
  Is anyway to avoid to jump through all these hoops or get all these headaches to put Windows 7 on my computer - upgrade price since I already have a useless Vista license?
  For what it's worth, I don't want to be negative, because I'm just completely frustrated at a task that should be simple - not to mention that this is the second time I'll have to post because the first time he said the server was unavailable after all the effort to write this first. I am a disabled veteran, so I did not have money to be plopping down hundreds of dollars to check if the software works or not, then that cost when he is not eating. I am now looking to mitigate my loss of Vista upgrade to Windows 7 (at least a little), but still, Vista prevents me to do.

  To remove the headache you cleaning 7 via BIOs Setup. You must then install 7 Service Pack 1 (if not included on the DVD), then the system drivers.

  A complete guide to a Dell system is available here. It will take e slightly modified for a non-Dell system, but it will give you an idea. Note that I wrote each step out in its entirety with a lot if you do not have this or that to get here, so it's a much more long/more scary looking at first sight than it actually is.
  Note: Vista is very stable (~ as stable as 7) when it's done via a clean installation and its Service Pack 1 and 2 service are installed before the drivers in the system (also mentioned in the guide). Via an upgrade, it's a nightmare that you met.

• Problem installing Vista Service Pack 1

  Hello

  I searched the internet for hours now and have found many people with the same problem but I couldn't find a solution.

  I just bought software that requires Vista service pack 1 which I thought that I had already but I didn't so I installed it.
  It goes through the whole process of installation and the last section after restarting, it goes to a black screen where it moves well as files or something but locks files 37898/94821 with the message:! 0xc01a001d! (\Registry\Machine\COMPONENETS\winners\x86...).

  If anyone has had this problem and know what to do.
  My laptop is fine without service pack 1, but my new software needs to work so I have to download it.

  Thank you

  Hello

  To be honest, I never had any problem with my Vista updates
  The Vista updates automatically every time when I m online and when new updates are available

  How have you tried to update the Vista operating system?
  Have you downloaded the SP1 version first on the HARD drive or do you run an automatic update?

  If the automatic update does not work, try to download the SP1 version first, and then start the update procedure:

  SP1 can be downloaded here:

This problem is only since installing Vista Service Pack 2 any what help you can give me to eliminate these problems would be most appreciated

  Tony,
  Have you checked your firewall to see if the file sidebar.exe is allowed?  When you have downloaded the update it probably resets the security settings for this program if your firewall blocks most likely it.  First try.

  Have you double checked the control panel for the side bar to ensure that it was activated?  Again, the setting could have been modified by the service pack.
  Try this, it includes a section "fix it for me":

• Windows Vista Service Pack 2 installation problem

  I am having major problems installing service pack 2 on windows Vista on a Dell Inspiron from 32-bit. It returns the 8007000D error code.

  I tried the PC back to factory settings, removing the anti-virus and the deactivation of some things non-nessasary start up with msconfig. Also, I have disabled all the wireless devices using a switch on the side of the laptop - it seems that would enable me to install service pack 1.

  Even with all the foregoing it always fails and recommends the system "Update system tool" update running. I have run, restart the computer and run the SP2 and it does not always work with the same error message.

  The only other methods recommended to install must remove antiviris and other programs that I've done so I don't know what to do!

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  Matthew

  Robear,

  Thanks for your reply.

  I looked at the link (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947366) and went through all the troubleshooting guide without success. With my current attempts to install SP2 (after the return to factory settings), I remove McAfee from the computer (that came with it as default) and then install the service pack SP1 and SP2 by using the stand-alone installation programs by downloading from another computer.

  Thank you for give me the Microsoft technical support link, that I had read on another thread that the free support is exhausted.

  I will try to sue microsoft and come back here if I have any luck!

  Thank you
