Vista Service Pack 2/3 - 0xc01a001d

[Pud]

Apologies if this has been raised and answered before but I have Google'd it
and there does not appear to be a definitive answer.

After installing Service Pack on Windows Vista Home Premium and after the
machine reboots I get the following 'stuck' message:

!! 0xc01a001d !! 28459/93831 (\Registry\Machine\COMPONENTS\DerivedData...)

and it never changes.

Have had to use 'System Restore' to get back to a working machine (pre
Service Pack).

How can I get the Service Pack installed?

Are you referring to Service Pack 1 ( SP1 ) ?
If yes, next question : Were you offered SP1 from Windows Update Center ?
If no, it means you machine is missing something and therefore not ready to
install SP1. In that case, don't bother to go to MS site looking for it.
That's all I know.

Please read all three (3) sections of this reply.

SECTION #1

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for
Windows Vista, but only for Service Pack 2 (SP2). This support for Windows
Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2) is valid until November 26, 2009. Availability of
chat or e-mail support differs depending on your geographic location. Go to
http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?prid=13014&gprid=582034 &
select appropriate category (e.g., Installation).

============================================================

SECTION #2

C01A001D = STATUS_LOG_FULL
Log space is exhausted.

Generally, these errors can occur if the system files are corrupted.

To make clear the current situation, I recommend downloading Windows Vista
Service Pack 2] in Normal Mode and installing it in Clean Boot Mode. Please
follow the steps below.

Note: This SP2 installation can be affected by certain third party programs
running in the background. If you are running any third party applications
such as Spyblocker, Internet or web accelerators (programs designed to boost
the speed of the Internet connection), security or anti-virus programs
(McAfee, Norton, etc.), I recommend we temporarily disable or shut them down
during our troubleshooting process. Please be sure to enable them again when
the update process has been completed.

Step 1: Download Windows Vista Service Pack 2 Standalone Installer
===================================================
1. Download Windows Vista SP2 from the link below according to your System
Type:

...Windows Vista Service Pack 2 - Five Language Standalone for x32-based
systems (Size: 348.3 MB)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=a4dd31d5-f907-4406-9012-a5c3199ea2b3

...Windows Vista Service Pack 2 - Five Language Standalone for x64-based
systems (Size: 577.4MB)
http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/3/b/83b8c814-b000-44a4-b667-8c1f58727b8b/Windows6.0-KB936330-X64-wave0.exe

2. Save the download to your desktop, do not Run it!

Step 2: Install Windows Vista SP2 in Clean Boot mode
========================================
Please disable all startup items and third party services when booting to
avoid conflict when installing Vista SP1:

1. Click "Start", type: MSCONFIG in the search box and press Enter.

Note: Please click "Continue" if the "User Account Control" window pops up.

2. Click "Services", check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click
"Disable All" (if it is not gray).
3. Click "Startup", click "Disable All" and click "OK".

Note: Temporarily disabling the Startup Group only prevents the startup
programs from loading at startup. This shouldn't affect the system or other
programs. We can manually run these programs later. Go ahead and reboot your
system when prompted as you are exiting MsConfig.

4. After rebooting, right-click on the downloaded Windows Vista Service Pack
2 Standalone Installer, select "Run as Administrator" (if necessary) and
follow the instructions to install Windows Vista SP2.

To restore the computer to use a Normal Startup, repeat step 1 above. Then
click "Normal Startup" on the General tab, click "OK", and then restart the
computer.

SECTION #3

How to troubleshoot Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 service pack
installation issues
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947366

Error message when you try to install Windows Vista Service Pack 2 or
Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2: "An internal error occurred while
installing the service pack":
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967818

Installation Tips:

• Your computer will restart several times during the installation process:
Make certain you've saved your work and closed all open applications before
beginning the install.

• Disable (1) your anti-virus application, (2) any real-time system
protections afforded by any anti-spyware applications (except Defender), &
(3) your third-party firewall (if any) and then (4) enable the Windows
Firewall _before installing or uninstalling_ Vista SP2.

• The installation process can take an hour or more: If you're installing
SP2 on a portable computer, make sure that you plug-in the power cord and
have the battery inserted into its bay.

• Vista SP1 is a prerequisite for installing SP2. If you use Windows Update
or the Automatic Update feature in Windows Vista, you will not be offered
the option to install SP2 until you first install SP1.

Thank you for your answer PA Bear. It would have helped you had I got my
Service Pack numbers right. I got myself a bit confused between Vista and XP
SP numbers obviously.

To clarify, the machine has Vista Home Premium without Service Pack. I have
been trying to get SP1 installed and get the error message.

Am I right in assuming your answer holds for both SP1 and SP2 installs?

Thanks

The no-charge support link
(http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?prid=13014&gprid=582034) is
for SP2 now but try it anyway since SP1 is a requirement for installing SP2.

The download links for SP1 are different, of course:

Running Vista Ultimate and have new updates to install SP1 here. I already
d/loaded SP1 / SP 2 manually so am asking this; which is better to do; let
the update automatically install or do it like above?
Don't want to mess anything up with the installation of SP1 / SP2.

Thanks for your help

God Bless... :-)
