  Hello

  PLEASE IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME WITH THE PROBLEM BELOW:

  I OFTEN GET SOME NEW UPDATES FOR WINDOWS 7, BUT WHEN I TRY TO INSTALL I MEETS THE 8007045D ERROR CODE.

  Tolis,

  8007045 d = "ERROR_IO_DEVICE - the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error."

  Maybe your hard drive goes bad.  Run chkdsk complete as follows:

  Open 'my computer '.

  right click on the C: drive, select "Properties".

  Click the tab "Tools".

  Click on "check now".

  check * two * check boxes, and then click Start.

  Follow the instructions to restart windows.

  Before Windows recharge, it will run a full chkdsk, which can take an hour or more.  take note of all the reported errors: if it says that it has replaced bad clusters in file, these files could now be corrupt.

  If there is a lot of mistakes, you should you consider backup of your data files, fitness and installing a new version of windows.

• Windows 7 - error code: 80070246 (cannot install updates)

  Original title: Windows 7 update has failed.

  I have 10 updates that must be installed, and it continues to fail. I get the error code 80070246. I tried a .net removal fix suggested in another post, rename c:\windows\softwaredistribution, manually download the updates (which also failed), sfc/scannow have produced no results... The updates that I need to install are: KB982381, KB981078, KB982526, KB982670, KB982526, KB982670, KB978542, KB78601, KB79482, KB980218, KB971033, KB980408, KB980846 and KB981793. I tried the update of windows running as administrator thus (the account I use has administrative privileges). Pre-release candidate seems to work perfectly. Since it expired and I had to buy a copy of Windows 7, I had problems. Why this version would not work as well as pre-release?

  OK, so thank you to Alex blood Support technique Microsoft. The solution to my fixing corrupt system files was to run the installation on my Windows DVD install and choose the option 'Upgrade. ' I backed up all my documents in case where, but my system remained intact. I didn't format my hard drive and reinstall Windows, so I am grateful that this solution worked. I just someone would wish he suggested earlier.

  The registry key seems OK.
