    SP1 is irrelevant here - the problem is that error message...

    This may simplybe caused by a bad set of Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers -



    Installing theIntel Rapid Storage Drivers

    try downloadingand installing them from here - https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=22194



    (you want theiata_enu.exe download)



    Once complete,please reboot twice, then attempt Windows Update.
