Windows 7 Update Fail, Error 80073712
I was trying to upgrade to windows 8 Pro on my Lenovo G580, as I got my student license from my University. There started the problem, when trying to upgrade from the DVD (burnt ISO) the upgrade immediately sends "Setup failed to initialize the startup folder" error.
So after few searches, I found on lenovo website that I need to install all important updates first. That's where I found another problem, which is my thread about. I tried so many methods until I found this forum.
Few other problems I ran through while trying to fix it alone:
- Updating seems like stuck at 0KB total, 0%, and returns the same error after a while.
- Can't enter safe mode from F8, it gets stuck at some CPNP file while loading. However, I can enter the safe mode by choosing Safe Boot from Msconfig and restarting the system.
- Running CHKDSK from CMD [Admin] gave "F Parameter not specified, running in read-only mode", and then runs normally.
- Tried to download and install updates alone, they all fail when trying to install.
- One of the times where the update readiness tool was running, my pc encountered BSoD. And once when I was scanning with malwarebytes.
- SFC Scannow command scan returns that no violations in integrations where found.
Note: I just ran the SURT, it said installation successful after a while of running it!
Thanks in advance,
Rahmani
