Update Windows Vista error code A 8024, 000 after replacing the HARD drive

Hello

I had to replace the failed hard drive on my laptop (I replaced it with the same brand and size).

After that I used the recovery CD, Windows Update gives me error code A 8024, 000.

I tried the solution provided in this thread, but did not work for me:

I also tried to load the Microsoft Fixit utility, which has not installed, I tried to update the installer but it gave me an error as well. Also the installation of SP2 crashed with an error (8000ffff if I remember correctly)

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

  • Update of Vista 32 bit does not work after replacing the hard drive

    A month ago the hard drive of my computer (ACER Aspire 6920) had to be replaced. The disk image hard precedent (which includes the c: with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, SP 2 build 6002) has been mirrored to the new hard drive. Everything seemed to work fine until I noticed that I don't have more updates from Microsoft. I tried a manual update and got the message that the update service was not working and I have to restart the computer. However, the Task Manager showed that the update service has been executed. Of course, I rebooted the computer, but nothing has changed.

    I found a whole bunch of recommendations for this issue in this forum, but nothing seems to work:

    • The Microsoft FixIT tool indicates a problem with the update of components, and then said that the problem had been solved successfully. However, the problem is still there and rerun the FixIt tool Gets the same message on a problem (yet) found and fixed.
    • I also stopped the update service, delete all content in Windows/C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and restarted the service. without success.
    • I've temporarily disabled my security suite (Eset Smart Security 6) and tried the update. I also have fittings the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution to the scope of the antivirus, without success. On the old hard drive, I used a different security suite so I thought that maybe the ESET (that I installed everything recently) could be the cause of the problem, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
    • I also followed the instructions provided by Microsoft at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058, but again, no change at all. However, it should be noted that registering some DLLs that Microsoft listed does not work (message that the DLL is not found or some server entry point (my translation, I'm using the German UI and don't know English good term; sorry) could not be found.)

    Http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821 , I found another tool that supposedly can solve some problems of updating; I downloaded the version for Vista 32-bit, but it cannot install it on my computer (error code = 0xc8000247 during installation).

    So I'm really lost now what else to do. I would appreciate any suggestions. Please note that I am not technically very warned :)

    ARG, apologies.

    Was not aware that they had dropped support for Vista... (I myself have 'graduated' Vista earlier)

    The fact that you have not already installed TSRI is exactly your problem.

    Recent hard drives using 'Sectors 4 K', also known as 'Advanced Format Technology'.

    If the installed hard disk driver currently is not compatible with this specification,

    It will result in oddities like the status of the service Windows Update is not recognized correctly.

    Installation TSRI will fix this in most cases.

    Alternatively, if you are using Vista SP1 or later version (or 7 SP1), you can use the real driver.

    Since you are already updated to SP2, we will see if it is a viable solution.

    Go to: start-> Control Panel-> programs-> programs and features

    In the list of installed programs, locate and remove if found.

    -Intel Matrix Storage Manager

    -Intel Turbo Memory

    This should force your computer to go back to the real driver provided by Vista.

  • How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive?

    How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive? do I have to call microsoft or I can retrieve it somehow to the old hard drive?

    Well, that certainly puts a different point of view on this subject.

    There are data recovery services that can recover data from disks that have suffered from various types of failures. However, they are quite expensive. Unless the data is particularly useful, it is generally not useful.

    If your Windows 7 is an OEM version, installed on the computer when you bought it, the manufacturer could have a recovery disk on sale. If it was a retail copy and you always have the appropriate product/serial number, you can get a DVD of their team of parts replacement.

  • How can I reinstall windows after replacing the hard drive? Laptop did not come with a disc.

    My internal hard drive went bad in my laptop, easy to replace and relatively inexpensive. However, the laptop came not with the windows disk. So, how can I reinstall windows once I replaced the hard drive?

    Basically, you have two choices. You can communicate with the person who made the computer and see if they can provide either a set of Windows Vista restore disks (I would assume) or an installation for Windows Vista (probably OEM) DVD. If the second choice, determine if you will need to download device drivers or software packages from their web site. OR, you can purchase the operating system of your choice, retail. The wisdom is that, if this is your choice, you see if you will need the device drivers and get those of the web site of the manufacturer.

    Once you have the disks, install in the usual way.

    As you have decided to replace the hard drive, you could face an activation/Windows not genuine error.  You can follow these steps to make a phone activation.

    a. press Windows key + X , then click run, then type: slui.exe 4

    b. press the ENTER key

    c. Select your country from the list.

    d. choose telephone activation .

    e. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

    f. explain your problem to the support person

    150:30 errors mean that the licensing mechanism is broken, usually because the software moved instead of being re-installed.

    Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. (No, Symantec Support never say this.) See if the following solves your problems:

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

    4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

    5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    6. do a clean install of the 2010 version of your Norton application, using your product ID & reboot: http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

    TIP: Do not activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

    7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate until you get a prompt "no update more".

    8 test cycle.

    NB: Your Norton application can disable Windows Defender by default.

  • Activation of Windows Vista after replacing the hard drive

    I'm unable to activate windows after having my hard drive replaced. The portable station to my Windows Vista Home installed school, when my computer was originally Windows Vista Business. When I try to use Windows Activation, all options tells me that my product key is not valid for Windows Vista Home Edition. However, the steps to find a phone number to call for the activation require me to enter a product key, and then find the phone number from there. Because I can not clear the checkpoint, I can activate Windows or find a phone number to call. My computer has been purchased through my school, so I don't have a Windows Vista Business install disc, it automatically installs through the recovery disks. I could back up everything and then use the recovery disks, but I was wondering if there was another way to use the product key, I have, or to communicate with Windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Hello

    the product key you have is for Vista Business, not the House

    without a product key for home which must be provided by your school or purchased by you (no longer sold) will not be activated

    as you bought the computer and operating through your school system, these are the people to talk about this

    and if they provided you with recovery disks when you bought originally, they are used to boot from to reinstall the original operating system

  • Can not recover the Windows 7 desktop after replacing the hard drive

    I bought a new HP Pavillion Elite (HPE-240f) in August 2010. A week ago my hard drive has no SMART short self-test during systematic hardware diagnostics. I installed a new hard drive of the same size - 1 TB and could never make it work properly. I tried the following (in that order).

    1. using a system repair disc, I got the system from a previous image (which I did shortly after the purchase, install my own software and configuration of all). It worked, but then I noticed that Windows Update was not working. I ran various Microsoft diagnostic tools and discovered that some (unspecified) system files have been damaged or missing. All the fixes I tried didn't work. I ran hardware diagnostics extended, but no problem not found.

    2. I tried to restore the system to the default settings by using the original image on the D partition. At first it seemed to work, but at the last moment when the system started, I saw a message on the screen that Setup is starting services and then got a warning saying that services failed because of (unspecified) problems with hardware.

    3. I tried to restore the system from the system recovery discs and a message "system recovery disks do not support this computer."

    4. I found this Cyberlink utility on the HP website, dealing with precisely this issue. I created a CD tried and it didn't work.

    5. I found this document on the HP Web site, saying that if you are replacing a hard drive with sectors of 512 bytes with a new advanced Format (AF) drive (with areas of 4 096 bytes) and your system was manufactured before October 2010 (as mine was), you must get the new HP recovery disks. I thought I finally found the root of my problems (since the new drive is indeed AF and the old man is not) and ordered HP recovery discs.

    6. the disks arrived today, and I noticed that the version number of the software (for Windows 7 version) is almost the same as on the computer, except that the last digit is 9 on disks and 6 on the computer - I guess it's an update to deal with the problem hard drive AF. However, I get 'system recovery disks do not support this computer' error, if I use the utility from CyberLink recovery disks or not. To be on the safe side, I even used a new hard disc (new 1 TB) right out of the box (never partioned and installed previously) and connected the original keyboard supplied with the computer (I also unplugged everything except the monitor, keyboard and mouse). However, I get the same message. Just out of curiosity I tried to put back the original hard drive (certainly not in best shape, even if the system always starts with him) and still could not recover the system.

    What else can I try?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    already tried the recovery process more then once? If so, the error appears at the place of installation? You said that you have installed a new hard drive but actually you have formatted the hard drive before you perform a full restore? That would be really helpful, sometimes recovery is suspended because the disk formatted or partitioned before luckily.

    You should really try. One way would be to use the "UBCD4Win' which is a Windows Live CD with really good tools. Format your hard drive with this CD and retry the recovery. Maybe it works...

    Here´s the link to the CD "UBCD4WIn": www.ubcd4win.com ".
