• Pavilion dv6t-2000: Post recover process reimage disk - windows update error code a 8024, 000

  Hello

  After replacing my old HDD with a new SSD, I successfully used my purchased 1 & 2 recovery discs to reload Windows 7 x 64.  Now, I am able to connect to the internet and navigate through Internet Explorer, but I can't get Windows Update to work.  I get this error: Windows Update 8024A 000 error Code.

  I researched and found this fix:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows8_1-update/Windows-Update-error-code-8024a00...

  However, after you follow the steps to stop services, rename the specified files, register the dll, and then finally to leave the services, I'm still having the problem.  I also ran a utility "fix" looking for issues with the Windows Update utility, it has been correctly executed and said it solved the problem, but the problem persists.  I get more a 8024, 000 of the error, but the update still does not work.

  I don't him have not yet tried this, because of the weather, but will plan no later than today:

  In safe mode, access c:\windows\ and rename C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution to SoftwareDistribution.old.
  OK and restart.

  I also tried to upgrade to the latest version of the Windows Update utility which has as well.  I can install other applications (e.g., Norton anti-virus, java, adobe flash player) without problem.

  I noticed that I have not installed ServicePack 1, I did before as I have reimagee my computer. I need to install this first?

  Anyone has any ideas, or did I miss something?

  Your help is appreciated!

• Unable to run windows update error code A 8024, 000

  Original title: 8024A 000 error

  I replaced my hard drive recently, and after you install the recovery disk, I am unable to run the window update (error code A 8024, 000). I replaced the hard drive of this computer before and used this disc of recovery before and never had this problem, I even tried to reinstall the drive recovery again and the problem persists. I also tried the solution posted on other peoples issues this using prompt command and it turns out unsuccessful. I also tried to install the Windows Update Agent, which is recommended by some, it starts to install and I get an error saying that it is impossible to install PowerShell. If anyone has any alternatives, I try (in addition to those I've already tried) Please help! Thank you for your time.

  Hi all.

  solution:

  Download the new technology Intel® Rapid storage (RAID) driver 11.6.0.1030 version

  of http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=21852&ProductFamily=Software+Products&ProductLine=Chipset+Software&ProductProduct=Intel%c2%ae+Rapid+Storage+Technology+ (Intel % c2% ae + RST) & lang = fra and install in "normal" mode.

  This works.

  The Windows update error code appears after a hard drive replacement, and most providers have only this driver in version 9. XX or 10.xx.

  This driver 11 version solves the problem with windows Update error A 8024, 000.

  (have this error on 5 different machinetypes (Samsung, HP, Sony Vaio, etc.) and are all now resolved).

  Received the Windows Update error Code 646 & dt000 does not allow the following 2 updates be installed (KB976382 KB981725) what I need to do.

  Sorry, you have problems getting your patches installed. I have a number of things for you to look at.  First of all, yourBackground Intelligent Transfer Services set toAutomaticand started and Windows Update ? They both should be started. You can check these settings by typing services.msc in the search box of the start menu.

  Sometimes in order to get patches to install correctly, you must perform these tasks manually. Click each of the links below and click on download and run.  You must accept the agreement and then click on continue.

  If this does not work, try to run the Microsoft OneCare safety scanner.  Sometimes it will solve problems of hidden registry, or can clear the virus that can prevent the installation of the patches: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/whatsnew.htm.
