I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 that had a problem with the hard drive. I replaced the HD with a WD 750gig hard drive and did a factory restore. When I go to update I get an error that Windows Update cannot currentley check for updates because the service is not running. When I check the update service it looks like its running. Checking the logs show the following: Level Date and Time Source Event ID Task Category Information 10/14/2011 1:08:19 PM Microsoft-Windows-Search 1013 Search service Windows Search Service stopped normally.

I received the hotfix and got an error when trying to apply the update. "Installer encountered an error: 0xc8000247" Im wondering what to do next to try and apply this update?

I was able to apply the update on the original hard drive and image the fix to the advanced formatted drive, but im still getting the error, this post has been here for 2 days and so far I have received no response. The partitions are properley aligned and I updated to the latest Install IST drivers.
