Hello everyone: I recently saw that there was an update to install on my Gateway laptop and it came that there was a Windows 7 Service pack 1 for download, well... I did what every conscious user do and proceeded to install the Service pack, after installing and just about to reboot it came with a Fatal error C0000034.... Now, how in heavens I'm going to fix this? tried to use safe mode and the same message came up "fatal error C0000034...." can somebody guide me or if there's a way to fix this is available?

boot from the Windows 7 DVD or Windows Recovery Environment (F8)[1] and run the command prompt and run this: DISM /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions (replace C: with the drive where you installed Windows 7) This reverts all pending operations. Now you should go back to Windows 7 RTM. Now provide all files from the folder C:\Windows\logs\CBS and the setupapi.dev.log fro the Inf folder.

Hi I have same problem DISM /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions ends with error... log is here: http://pastebin.com/Z4Pj3JDx THX

this file is not found: \??\c:\Windows\WinSxS\Temp\PendingRenames\f47ec936c5d2cb01ce370000f8099014._0000000000000000.cdf-ms which results in this error: STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND this causes the failure to recover the Windows. Failed to commit empty transaction to recover the system [HRESULT = 0x80070002 - ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND] try to use F8 and the system repair/last good known configuration"A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

"last good known configuration" always the same error http://img684.imageshack.us/i/dsc0023onq.jpg/ (Czech - Windows7 ultimate 32bit)

do you have a system restore point you can use?"A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

thats the problem... I am a bit dumb and I dont have restore point. I have read quite a lot about this problem and I know that restore point usualy helps... Now I am using Ububtu live CD. The question is! Should I wait to some solution from MS or community OR backup all my data from drive C: and then reinstall system and all the programs..? (It would take a lot of time...)

try it. rename the pending.xml to still have it."A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

Did not help.. "starting windows..." system freeze on this message

one knowledge.... this: DISM /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions ends with error when pending.xml exists and when I rename this file it will ends properly. But windows wont start (win7 freeze on message "windows starting...")

Recently there was an issue where Win7 sp1 was put on WSUS and then due to default settings in SBS, it was automatically applied. Depending on if it was installed with other updates, in some cases it failed miserably leaving you with a "C34" error (see blogs below for references). Many of you then googled and found references to editing the pending.xml file which got you immediately back in business, but put the system in what is now called a 'torn' state, i.e. 1/2 rtm, 1/2 sp1. To get a feel of the true impact I'd like to find out the following. Can you please email me at susan-at-msmvps.com with the following information? How many PCs under your control were impacted? How many MS support cases did you open? Thank you in advance for this info. http://blogs.technet.com/b/joscon/archive/2011/03/09/error-0xc0000034-during-service-pack-1-installations-for-windows-7-and-windows-2008-r2.aspx http://blogs.technet.com/b/joscon/archive/2011/03/11/why-you-don-t-want-to-edit-your-pending-xml-to-resolve-0xc0000034-issues.aspx http://blogs.technet.com/b/joscon/archive/2011/03/16/new-information-on-error-code-0xc0000034.aspx
