Hello All
Writing from Gibraltar where obtaining help for PCs is very difficult given our small population 30,000.
I have been unable to update my windows 7 the 'windows update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running window 7' since installing a new hard drive in my raid 1 PC a couple of months ago.I have tried several solutions as detailed in: windows update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running window 7 HELP when this is not so [having checked] to no avail, keep getting windows error 0xc8000247 including when I try to install and run System Update Readiness Tool for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB947821) [February 2013], installer also encounters error 0xc8000247.
Now I am also getting a 'Not genuine Windows' window opening, when again this is not so. Verification having obviously been done in the past without any problem
On searching through the internet I have read that there may be a problem with the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver and recommending installing driver SP47845 File Download [VERSION: 9.5.6.1001]
My reason for writing therefor is:
1. Is this information correct and you recommend installing this driver, or
2. Should I proceed to manually install the latest driver, assuming it is - File name: f6flpy-x64.zip Version: 11.7.0.1013, or
3. Should I instead use the Intel Update driver Utility and install all/any drivers using this software.
Or am I totally wrong and it's none of the above.
Any help or advice would be most welcome as I am not that technically proficient and I don't want to make a bad situation worst, read a thread in your post where the computer crashed so very scared.
Also gone to the intel support page but it's completely useless since i dont' really know what it is I'm supposed to look for.
Intel matrix Storage console Ver 8.9
Motherboard: Asus P6TD Deluxe ver 2 (intel x58)
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz, 2668 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
Hopefully I've uploaded the CBS file correctly as required.
Thank you all in advance for any help you may be able to give me, really desperate as I don't know what to do.
Ron
