    Re: Cant update to SP2

    Ive tried all the suggestions about installing the update readiness tool and trying to install vista sp2 with no success. I then turned off my screen saver,thinking maybe it wasnt installing because it kept interfering with the process. I thought I would give it anouther go on trying to install the readiness tool,and success! I then tried to install vista sp2, which was also successful.Although these processes take a little time,you might try that.

    Please start a NEW thread of your own, and attach the CheckSUR.log file to your post - also, run the following tests while waiting for a response....



    Please run a full CHKDSK and SFC scan....
    Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories
    Right-click on the Command Prompt entry
    Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.

    At the Command prompt, type
    CHKDSK C: /R
    and hit the Enter key.

    You will be told that the drive is locked,
    and the CHKDSK will run at he next boot - hit the Y key, and then reboot.
    The CHKDSK will take a few hours depending on the size of the drive, so be patient!
    After the CHKDSK has run, Windows should boot normally (possibly after a second auto-reboot) -

    then run the SFC.

    SFC -System File Checker - Instructions
    Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories
    Right-click on the Command Prompt entry
    Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.
    At the Command prompt, type
    SFC /SCANNOW
    and hit the Enter key

    Wait for the scan to finish - make a note of any error messages - and then reboot.
    Copy the CBS.log file created to your desktop (you can't manipulate it directly) and then compress the copy and attach it to a reply to your new thread.

    Post a new MGADiag report with details of any error messages encountered.
