Did exactly the same thing with the laptop. All went OK. The only difference, there was not the extra 11mb update this time! All is well. Strange that it took quite a few attempts to sort itself out though.

Success on my desktop! Decided to try again. Ran Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth, no problems reported. Ran sfc /scannow and it repaired some start menu items (which I deleted some time ago as not used): Accessibility - Windows Speech Recognition System Tools - Default Programs, Task...

Just to update, I ran Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth, and sfc /scannow, both as administrator, both found no problems. Just to be sure I also ran sfc /scannow at boot, that also found no problems. Tried to install the update, still failed! Attached my CBS log if anyone knows how to...

Well, I have tried many times without success to install this update. Attached is a copy of my latest CBS log, if anyone can help with it. Thanks.

On the laptop the stand alone update is being run from the Desktop on C Drive (where the os resides), and gets the same error message looking for that file! It is just the same line in Event Viewer, with the address of the desktop (rather than the F on the desktop. F on the desktop is not a...

Just checked the Laptop, same error!

Do not use Avast, still had the problem though.

Well, this morning switched on my Desktop and after Windows screen but before log in screen, it said installing Windows Updates, and I waited about 20 minutes before reached Windows desktop. Everything was sloooooooooooow, could do nothing. Tried system restore, it said successful, but was stuck...

Tried to install on Win 8.1x64 Desktop and Laptop, both failed, and no error message.:confused:

Just to confirm that I appear to have resolved the problem as above. No repeats of the problem since these actions were taken.

OK thanks. No do not use that. Will wait see if I have solved this for a few days. Thanks again for your time.

Hi, If AMD Overdrive, is Fuel Service, then yes, but I do not use it. I may have solved this. I again uninstalled all AMD Software using normal uninstaller. Then ran the AMD Cleanup utility. As previously stated this made the error disappear. I then installed v13.12, error returned (as...

Hi, This error appears at every Windows (8.1 update 1) start: Issue Details AODDriver 4.2.0 service failed to start - The system cannot find the specified file. This from Event Viewer: - System - Provider [ Name] Service Control Manager [ Guid]...

Thanks guys for your help. I was hoping that I could boot from the drive as a standby, but maybe not. I think I will just make a weekly copy of my OS Drive to this old drive, and then if my OS Drive has a problem, I can just put the old drive back into the tower and boot that way. If anyone...

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I only want to keep the old drive in case the new one fails to boot for any reason. Hopefully that will not infringe any licensing matters. I tried to boot from the disk. Got the usual Windows 8 boot screen, but at about the time it would load the login screen got...

Hi, Just replaced my OS (Win 8.1) Drive, and was planning on using the old drive as a back up. This new (and old) drive have just the OS, all my programs and media etc are on other drives. Can I put my old OS drive, with Windows 8.1 still installed, into a USB Docking Station, and use it as a...

Hi John, Thanks for your interest. I am pretty sure it was the SATA cable. I have run a few images and backups since I replaced the cable and no problems to report. So hopefully that was the problem. Thanks again for your interest.
