If you see the error C34 (below) on Win7 when installing SP1 there is no need to panic:
What you need to do is tell Windows to install Service Pack 1 by itself and what that means, is you need to tell it NOT to install other updates at the same time as SP1. Fortunately Microsoft has created a script to do this for you:
Dim xmlDoc, node, nodeList, fileName, backupFileName, numberOfPOQNodes
Set xmlDoc = CreateObject(“Microsoft.XMLDOM”)
If Wscript.Arguments.Count = 0 Then
WScript.echo(“Error! No XML file specified.”)
Wscript.quit
End If
fileName = WScript.Arguments(0)
backupFileName = Left(fileName, InStrRev(fileName, “.”) – 1) & “_backup.xml”
If Not xmlDoc.load(fileName) Then
WScript.echo(“Failure loading XML file ” & fileName & “.”)
Wscript.quit
End If
xmlDoc.save(backupFileName)
Set nodeList = xmlDoc.documentElement.selectNodes(“POQ”)
numberOfPOQNodes = nodeList.Length
For Each node in nodeList
xmlDoc.documentElement.removeChild(node)
Next
xmlDoc.save(fileName)
Set xmlDoc = Nothing
WScript.echo(numberOfPOQNodes & ” POQ nodes removed. Script completed.”)

Mostly the blue screen issu is the issue of some missing system files during updating the windows it is not only the error of window 7 but it is also the error of windows 10 as well. The above description is well briefed and can also be done with some settings in the system. To configuration also consider the link given below
How to Fix Fatal Error c0000034 While Applying Windows Updates

how to fix fatal error c0000034
I am fixing a friends computer with this issue but the command prompt in step 6 is nowhere to be seen and the person who screwed up his computer has no password and neither does he... tried safemode.. same error.. any other ideas?
Other than using a Windows Passwords cracker (several good and free ones around the internet which come on boot disks) or wiping, reloading, I have no other suggestions.
Hi Ian
I'm still stuck with this one, I've not only copied and pasted (seems to give me incorrect ansi characters which cause the script to fail) but I've also painstakingly typed the entire script into notepad on the computer I'm trying to fix, saved as ANSI but it still comes up with an error on line 20 character 75. Expecting a ')' symbol, but that line is actually blank.
I've tried removing blank lines, checked that there are no hidden characters etc with no luck. Any Ideas?
Thanks
Wayne
The script should work. I assume the text is ANSI but it could be ASCI. My guess would be that it does not make a difference in this case.
That said you might find this helpful http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;975484 . Also, MS provides FREE technical support for patches so if you are really stuck, strike up a chat or phone at http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=support
I hope this helps.
If I already deleted the checkpoint (the easy fix), can I still restart it again and run your fix?
I don't know for sure, but if you are stuck, I would certainly try.
what if i went into safe mode and formatted the hard drive. (i put in an original Vista restore disk). then when i tried to restore the hdd, it said there is a file missing. so, what do i do?
You FORMATTED the Hard Drive? That would wipe out all the data. If I did that (and yes, I have helped people who have done that before), I would use GetDataBack from http://www.runtime.org/data-recovery-software.htm (call them to confirm the tool is what you needl; they are very helpful) or some similar tool.
What do you mean by step number 8?
Change Directory to your flash drive
i.e. type e:
Also what is WinPE? And did you follow the same exact steps for your thumb drive F?
WinPE is Windows Pre-executable Environment. It is a stripped version of Windows with a miminal interface which allows you the fix or load Windows and not much else.
It does not have Direct-X or IIS or Paint or WordPad but it does have a Command window (CMD) and Notepad and mouse drivers. As such WinPE is radically better (and more full featured) than DOS, much faster and smaller than full Windows, and more compatible than Linux boot disks.
PE is AWESOME and Microsoft updates it with every version of Windows. WinPE on Windows 7 is WinPE v3 and as stated it is great.
I hope this helps/
What do you mean by cd to the tu=humbdrive location and how do you know what drive is damaged? I mean in my pc im not being able to log in.

Step 3 is the Key. You can not repair this problem after you boot Windows (because your Windows is hosed!). You MUST get into SAFEMODE.
