Windows 7 Home Ultimate stuck on windows update

(1/7) > >>

Hi shane working on a friends computer and it will not do the updates. I have ran your tweaking program and Microsoft fixit and numerious other programs to no avail. How do I fix this? I am trying system restore right now and that is taking forever. Also he has a SATA Seagate Barracuda LP hard drive and it is making a beed noise on power up, am thinking the armature is stuck and I need to take the drive apart and set the arm back to the home position. Any suggestions? Also where do I go to download Windows OEM disk to do a system repair.

Boggin:
You could download SeaTools for Windows to see what it makes of the HDD, but not sure if it would snag a stuck armature - and I'll leave any mechanical repairs to you.

Read the download instructions.

As for the updates, download WSUS Offline Updater which should sort your updates problem.

I didn't create a new folder and used Client as it says in the tutorial when I had the same update problem following a factory reset of a Win 7 laptop.

I am doing the WSUS offline right now. The hard drive does not even be seen in the bios, it is a 4 year old hard drive, just watched a youtube video of a guy taking the hd apart with the same problem. My friend is ok to take it apart, if we wreak it it will be a bookend.

Boggin:
Does it show up in Disk Management with a drive letter ?

rhuffman:
How can it show in disk management if the bios does not even see it. It beeps as soon as the power is turned on. Also is it common for the WSUS to take an extreamily long time. It says listing id's of missing updates, been almost 2 hours. When I run the windows update it says the updates have never been run, but when I check which updates have been installed there is a ton of them. Does WSUS fix the update program in windows 7 Home Premium OEM, this is on a Compaq system.
