Help with Vista64 SP2
Hi
Asus Maximus Extreme, Q6600, 4Gig, ATI X1900GT, Haupauge HVR2250
I cannot get Vista64 Sp2 to complete. It gets to step3 100% then fails with 0x80004005.
I have Vista64 Home Premium on its own drive. I have never cloned the drive or have any other boot sectors.
I have disconnected all external devices and the internal secondary drive.
I have tried several fixes found on line. One of which did fix my Backup, which would error when I first tried it. This should not be called Backup. It only backs up the Files and Folders not your Programs.
I have tried Safe mode and have tried doing update and repair which both say I cannot do this. I have done a chkdsk, fixmbr and fixboot. I have tried working with MS and they have given up and said do a clean install. Easy for them to say.
I figure with all the techs that look at this site, one of you must have a fix.
——————————————
THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR SUGGESTIONS. I AM GIVING UP AND DOING A CLEAN INSTALL TODAY.
I HOPE EVERYONE RAISES ENOUGH ISSUES THAT MS GIVES EVERYONE WITH VISTA A FREE UPGRADE TO W7.
A COMPANY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS LIKE THIS.
