Windows update and BITS missing

Hi,
As the title suggests both these services are missing from my system.
Its a 64 bit win 7 sony vaio. Have tried the tutorial in this site, microsoft detection tool and various other methods available on the net in the last 8 hours.
Standalone installer fails saying the specified service doesn't exist as an installed service.
Fixit tool fails saying you don't have permissions to start BITS.

Have checked registry and registry entries exist for both BITS and update.
Read somewhere to create the service by using sc. On trying that got an error of CreateService Failed 5. Access is denied.
Am totally at my wits end now. Would appreciate any help.

Regards,

Hi, Thanks for the reply,
I've already tried scannow and it shows no integrity issues found.
Should i try check disk with both file system errors and bad sectors option checked?

Regards,

Hopefully the fix will be simple :)
Please download http://kb.eset-la.com/library/ESET/KB%20Team%20Only/Malware/ServicesRepair.exe and save it to your desktop.
Double-click ServicesRepair.exe
If security notifications appear, click
Continue or Run and then click Yes when asked if you want to proceed.
Once the tool has finished, you will be prompted to restart your computer.
Click Yes to restart.

Then download the Farbar Service Scanner from

Right-click on the saved file and select 'Run as Administrator', and tick all the options, then click on the Scan button - copy and paste the report to your response.

Done. Out below. Thanks!

Hi,
The checkdisk kept on failing at 5%. The system kept on restarting.
Finally i pressed a key, skipped the chkdsk and logged in.

Regards,

Thanks for the prompt response.
Results for the commands below.
On the rootkit vs failing harddisk i suspect the former coz sometime back i purchased mcafee total protection and could not install the anti virus package at all. Other components installed fine but any attempt to install virus and spyware protection failed.
