For a quick reference, I will include my previous post.

So I was having trouble installing a windows update. Those details are in the post above. After I was able to install it, and a restart, my computer makes an aggressive sound. It could be my fan running at max power. But honestly, I don't know if its my fan or something else. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
 
Since 4054518 is from December 2017, I have to ask have all the updates for 2018 and January 2019 been installed?

Do you allow MS to update your drivers?
 
The fan problem solved itself when I ran Windows Update Troubleshooter.

Also, to answer your questions, it is an older machine being revived. It works pretty well. And to answer your question, yes the newer updates have worked.
Thank you for attention on this matter.

I'm struggling to get my machine to accept the system repair disc I just burnt for it.
status 0xc00000e9 an unexpected i/o error
Is this possibly a hardware issue?
 
You'd need to explain what you mean by "system repair disc". I've never used anything like that.

Also check to see if this system repair disc" works on another computer. It might be a bad burn or a problem with the optical drive.
 
I assume you want to use the repair disk for the problem in your other thread
I have found that SFC has found missing files and cannot resolve the issues.

Okay, the creation process on HP's site looks like what I had to do for my eMachine and our Acers. I never actually used any of the disks.

Have the computer booted up and then put the CD in the drive. Does Windows Explorer come up and allow you to see anything on the CD?
Try a music or video CD/DVD, does a different CD or DVD work in that computer?

The drive grumbles a bit with the CD, but it does work. Just played some music and booted up a game dvd.

Yes you are correct in my intentions for the computer. I want to repair missing SFC files.

Try creating another CD with a different brand of CD.

If you need the disk to repair your computer then it is worth another burn to see if you can get it to work.

Obviously the player part of your optical drive works because all three disks you tried, work.
The drive could be having trouble burning but since the disk has to be made on the computer it will be used on, you can't burn it on another computer.

This was very good insight. I burnt another disk and that works now. I was able to run the disk. Seems as though my computer is fine according to system repair. Still cant pass my sfc test. Maybe its fine, iono.
 
I'm glad you got a working disk.
As far as sfc not working, if the computer seems to be working (fan quiet, update installed, optical drive reading CDs/DVDs), I wouldn't worry about it.
