Windows Product Key Update Tool Disk Space 0x800402c9 RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi,

    I could not find my actual disk that came with this computer and had to install using another installation disk.

    I was trying to change the key to the one that is actually on the outside stuck on the computer, but the product key update tool is not working it keeps telling me:

    Product Key Update Failure
    The application has encountered a disk-write error while updating system components. The system may be low on disk space. Please check the available deisk space. [Error: 0x800402c9]

    How do I fix this problem. I tried running the activation wizard but the wizard tell me invalid key.

  • Hello Wilecoyte78,

    We understand the inconvenience you are currently experiencing and would like to provide you with some self-help options we have made available for our customers. Please follow the steps outlined below as it could either resolve your issue or, if need be, provide us with additional information to determine the cause of this issue.

     

    1.      Ensure you log onto the computer experiencing the issue with “Administrator” rights.

    2.      Next we would like to confirm that you are running the most current version of the Genuine Advantage control on your computer. In order to do this please follow the below link and choose the “Validate Windows” option.

     

    http://www.microsoft.com/genuine

    If the above steps did not resolve your issue lets continue with the steps below.

    If you could also please follow the steps outlined below, the diagnostics Web Site will attempt to resolve the validation errors you are experiencing with Windows.

    http://www.microsoft.com/Genuine/diag/RunDiags.aspx?displayLang=en

    Next follow the on-screen prompts to resolve the issue if any of the checks at the above site fail. If, after attempting to resolve the issue as per the instructions on the above site fails, please refer to the link below and run the MGA Diagnostics tool:

     

    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012

     

    You will be prompted to either “Run” or “Save” the tool. Choose to “Run” the tool and follow the on-screen prompts. You will receive an “Internet Explorer-Security Warning” dialog box for the “Windows Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool”; you must choose to “Run” this tool when prompted.

     

    Once you are presented with the Diagnostics tool choose “Continue” to run the diagnostic report. If the “RESOLVE” button is available after running the diagnostics, please click “RESOLVE” to allow the diagnostic tool to attempt a repair.

     

    1.      After running the MGA Diagnostic tool, click on the “Windows” tab and then click on “Copy”.

    2.      Please return to this post and “Paste” the results here for additional review.

     

    Step 2 is to look on the computer itself, in the documentation you received with the computer or with your retail purchase of Windows to see if you have a Certificate of Authenticity (COA).  If you have one, tell us about the COA.  Tell us:

    1.  What edition of Windows XP is it for, Home, Pro, or Media Center, or another version of Windows?

    2.  Does it read "OEM Software" or "OEM Product" in black lettering?

    3.  Or, does it have the computer manufacturer's name in black lettering?

    4.  DO NOT post the Product Key.

    Not sure what to look for?  See this page for reference:  http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/en/coa.mspx

     

    NOTE: The data collected with the Genuine Diagnostics Tool does NOT contain any information that can personally identify you and can be fully reviewed, by you, before being posted.

     

    Thank you,

    Stephen

  • I was browsing this site and I too have an invalid copy of Windows. I had XP media center edition 2005 factory installed on my HP Computer when I bought it, but had no backup disc. I bought the computer with an upgrade to Vista when it became available. I installed the Vista and didn't like it. Had nothing but problems and so wiped it out and installed a copy of XP Pro that I had. Now, several years later and just before Windows 7 comes out, my XP Pro is no longer valid. I'd like to get my original Media Center XP back or at least have a valid copy of XP. What do I need to do? I have the Proof of License COA affixed to the side of my PC.  Under the Windows XP Media Cente Edition 2005 it says in black letters "HP".                       Diagnostic Report (1.9.0011.0):

  • Hello sha123,

    Does the computer have a Windows Certificate of Authenticity (CoA) affixed to it?

    If not, did you buy a retail boxed Windows XP?  The CoA will be on the boxtop of the nice pretty retail box.
