Hey Peter, welcome to SevenForums. I would start here: http://www.sevenforums.com/windows-...4840-windows-update-posting-instructions.html
Follow the instructions & post a new topic here: Windows Updates & Activation

Lots of very experienced eyes watching that forum. Good Luck.

EDIT: Looks like a Mod moved your topic to Windows Updates & Activation. The Cavalry should be by shortly. Good Luck!

Hi Peter, welcome to 7F!

If you receive Windows Update error 8024200d, it can mean that an update did not finish downloading or installing.

This could be a matter of not having enough hard drive disk (HDD) space, if you only have the 250 gb segate as shown in your system specs, as your one and only drive.

There are several precaution you must take before you install Windows 7 SP1. One of them is ensuring that you have enough disk space on your computer.
