Windows 7 : Windows Update : error = 0xC8000247 ( HP pavilion desktop )

Windows update service has not worked after replacing an old HDD with a new one due to HDD failure.I have installed Windows 7 Pro 32bit into the new HDD using the recovery media shipped with HP. ( I replaced 320GB HDD with 500GB HDD )

Windows update service is running , however I can’t apply patches.



The following is the WindowsUpdate.log when issuing updates with CLI

Do the update with CLI

C:\Windows\system32>wuauclt.exe /detectnow

When googling this issue , I've found that this might be corrected by installing "Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver".
In my case , I could solve this issue after installing "Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver" which I downloaded from HP site.
You will find the driver for HP desktop by just googling “HP pavilion model name driver”.

After installing the driver.
