Error 80070005, no installed patches, and can't install SP1 (Final)
I uninstalled SP1 RC1 and rebooted, expecting to install the new SP1 (Final) on 64-bit WIndows Ultimate on my Dell Precision M4300. I now can't see any updates ever to Windows, can't install the full patch or even get Windows Update to search for new updates.
I've run CHKDSK, tried to use "SubInACL" to fix possible permission problems, run SFC and found files with problems that can't be fixed, and had the computer strangely not boot from scratch on multiple occasions--just flashing a cursor for a few minutes and not even accessing the hard drive.
The computer boots when not docked and does allow me to use Windows, but at this point I'm stuck. SubInACL should help, but doesn't work right on my 64-bit Vista.
This will take hours to fix, and has already taken hours to arrive where I am now.
Windows XP w/SP3 really is sounding like an awesome up(down)grade.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
