SFC will not run, Windows Update is broken. I'm sure you know both of these from the post title.

I cannot Just simply Restore/Reformat.

System had a HDD fail, I was able to clone the HDD and save the information but obviously it has done some damage. Can this be fixed?

Just let me know what I can do to help you help me.

Thanks.

Hi,

Right, let's start with the bad news - this doesn't look easily fixable at all. All the Windows Update data is stored in the COMPONENTS hive of the registry. It's a little known hive because it only deals with Windows Update. When that hive becomes corrupt, Windows Update fails.

You have a corruption in your COMPONENTS hive, as reported both by SURT and SFCFix:

SURT:
Code:
(f)    CSI Unable to Query Store Version    0x00000002

SFCFix:
Code:
WARNING: Failed to check store directories with return code 1 and error code ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND. COMPONENTS hive may be corrupt.

WARNING: Components hive failed size test and may be corrupt.

Your CBS log shows the same thing, with this error repeatedly appearing:

Code:

I will get you to upload your COMPONENTS hive to me though so I can have a look myself.

SFCFix COMPONETS Collection

  1. Download SFCFix.exe using the following link and save the tool to your Desktop: [sfcfixdownload]Download SFCFix[/sfcfixdownload]
  2. Download SFCFixScript.txt and save this to your Desktop as well: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u...eric/Collect/COMPONENTS/SFCFixScript.txt?dl=1
  3. On your Desktop, you should now see two files: SFCFix.exe and SFCFixScript.txt.
  4. Drag the file SFCFixScript.txt onto the file SFCFix.exe and release it.
  5. SFCFix will now begin to upload your COMPONENTS hive to our server.

Kind regards,
Stephen
 
I broke down and reinstalled Windows 7. I just need to get this system running and back to a customer. Thanks for the help.
 
Sorry for the wait, but unfortunately that was the only option here.

Your COMPONENTS hive should be at least 20MB - it's normally around 35MB on most systems, sometimes more. Your hive was 256 KB - far, far too small. It's impossible to repair that.

Glad you managed to fix the computer though, sorry I can't be more help!

Your help was greatly appreciated. I knew I was in bad shape and I would have rather did a clean Install although it is more work and more cost to my customer which was something I was hoping to avoid. Thank you for everything. I wish I had more knowlege of the inner workings of Windows so I could contribute here.
