Repair Windows 7 SP1 installation fails.

I'm trying to repair an installation of Windows 7.  Windows 7 has become corrupted during a Microsoft Update in October 2012.  The problem is preventing any Microsoft Updates.  Attempts to get 8007370B error code.  After several failed attempts to remedy this error to Microsoft Update, I tried to do a repair install using my Windows 7 disc.  Which failed, because I had installed the SP1 and the system reported that the installed version is newer than my Windows 7 pre-sevice pack 1 disc.  So I bought Windows 7 with SP1 and tried the 'upgrade' (a.k.a repair) installation, which does not.  The installation failure message asked me to install Microsoft Updates and try again.  You see my problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Karl Seeler

I finally gave up trying to solve the problem or making repair installation 7.1 Windows and reinstalled Windows 7, which has updated to 7.1.  I have a second hard drive that makes the backup and restore what I need quickly.  The only problem was with the software that is downloaded.

  • Vista SP1 installation failed and now my system is unable to start.

    I tried to install the Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) and it stalled for hours with this line of text on the screen nflickering:

    !! 0xc01a001d! 28461/88529 (\Registry\Machine\COMPONENTS\DerivedData...)

    I have a Toshiba satellite laptop computer with Vista Home Premium 32-bit. I have tried everything you can imagine on these forums - including:

    -Rename the configuration files of the prompt c.
    -creation of a true recovery/repair disk (Toshiba only sent a system recovery disc, not a repair disk) and attempt to run the repair from here (nothing was fixed and instead restart, he went to a black screen)
    -attempt to restore an earlier point but, as many others have remarked, the installation of SP1 apparently removes all set points, so it's been a bust
    -a tried to run chkdsk f / but who gave me an error indicating that the volume has been used and did not work.

    NOTHING works! I can't boot my system, and frankly I'm furious that Microsoft has failed to solve this problem for 3 YEARS according to assignments in these and other forums. I've always been a devout person PC - a bit too elitist for me to Apple. But I am absolutely disgusted that I potentially have to do a complete reinstall, including downloading all my software again for all my other programs.

    I am the Coordinator of health care for the County, I live in, have 3 kids to take care of and frankly, did not have the time to deal with this kind of setback. I worked on ALL this DAY, ruining the Superbowl Sunday, something that the people at Microsoft obviously don't care no difficulty. That tells you how much they care about customer support, I guess.

    If anyone has found a viable solution to this problem that CREATED Microsoft with an update that was supposed to IMPROVE their Vista defective product, please, please, help! I wish I had never entered in this horrible computer vacuum! Only, I tried to download this update because I received an email from Microsoft that offers a download of Windows 2010 beta to try, and everyone spoke of so many Windows 2007 (unlike Vista) I thought I would give it a try - only to find out that I had to have SP1 to install 2010. I feel I'm in a Kafka story.

    Thank you.

  • Windows XP SP1 installs because the server is not responding

    My wife has just died so I used the restore cd provided with his old office xp emachines to get rid of all the files to give to his grandson directed.

    Today, however it will be not updated. I tried to install SP1a that fails because the server does not and SP2 that s just a txt file.

    Anyone got any ideas how I can go back to SP3 on the computer?

    It is 32-bit and is not too powerful but BIF run before SP3

    My condolences.

    If the restore CD you have to sp1, you need not sp1a or sp2.  You can go directly to sp3.  SP1a is the same as sp1, but the removal of the "Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (JVM from MS).  Microsoft released XP sp1a as part of a settlement with Sun Microsystems patent infringement (then owner of Java).

  • Windows 7 SP1 "Configuration failed Service Pack"

    I get on "Service Pack Setup failure" when I try to load to my PC Windows 7 Premium SP1.  I looked towards the top of patches and all the things suggested in the following response to someone else have done it:

    1. According to your architecture of Windows 7, download / install and run Update Readiness Tool - CheckSur theSystem you can download the toolfrom the links below depending on your system type.     Download the preparation tool update system (64-bit) download the update tool (32-bit)

    2.

    3. once the SFC is finished, check your hard disk for errors.

    4 restart the system update readiness tool. If errors have been eliminated, try to reinstall Service Pack 1. If this is not the case, go to step 5.

    5. perform a startup repair, at startup, try to install the Service Pack.

  • Windows Vista SP1 installs, not anything else

    None of the suggestions work threads. I reinstalled same full operating system from the original cd. I had already replaced the hard drive as the old man a bad wwnt. Just curious, if maybe the old hd had a license or something attaching it to the product key and maybe that's what's causing problems?  It seems to me like a lot of people have had this problem where the service pack says it installed, but is not displayed, and continues to appear in Windows update. What a shame. Doubtful that we'll never know what caused this to happen and why there is no patch from Microsoft to simply fix.

    Hi tallyand welcome to the VMware communities!

    This message almost always means that the iso file is corrupted or truncated, although it seems unusual that this occurs on all three files unless there is something goes wrong systemic with all your downloads.  Have you checked file sizes and the SHA1 sums against those published on MSDN?  (Click on the Details link in the MSDN Downloads Web site list.)  You store the files .iso downloaded to a local hard disk or a network share?
