One possibility is hard disk corruption. You can boot to the recovery
Console, and run the command :
CHKDSK /R
to fix that.
You should try taking ownership of those problem files listed.
There is a gigantic download of tools that let to mount your image and
repair files. I've not tried it.
Stop error when you try to download updates from Windows Update on a
computer that is running Windows Vista 0x80070246:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;942968
This gives you the:
Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK)
and lets you replace files from the original Vista install image.
I only mention this method, since the takeown and copy method in the
previous article didn't seem to do it.
