    I have a Lenono T500 Thinkpad upgraded to Windows 7 Pro (64 bits) which has started acting up recently (error 0x8004FE21) after an important automatic update. I tried to restore it to a previous date, but that didn't correct the problem.

    Please, help me out on that. I thought that windows 7 is supposed to be stable, but it seems to be a common problem with various causes. I've red many pots on the matter and the solution differs in many cases. I don't want to worsen the problem by trying the different solutions proposed in these posts, this is why I'm posting the MCGDiag report like other posters did.

    Thanks for your help.

    See below the MCGDiag report:

    Your report appears to indicate that Windows is activated, however you should not have any mismatches in the File Scan Data. Have you run the sfc /scannow and the re-run MGADiag again to see if those mismatches go away?

    This may simply be caused by a bad set of Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers - Installing the Intel Rapid Storage Drivers try downloading and installing them from here - https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=22194  (you want the iata_enu.exe download).   Once complete, please reboot twice, then post another MGADiag report.

    Kamin, I've seen this referenced before. Can you point me to where IRST was discovered to make Windows Activation malfunction?

    No I cannot.  It happened before I joined this forum.  But I do know that it came about as a long and exhausting research exercise and has been used hundreds if not thousands of times here to fix activation problems.  The particular set of file mismatches OP has are symptomatic of the IRST issue.

    It's doubtful that the IRST drivers are the specific cause - but installing them does fix better than 80% of the cases we see.

    Most of the remainder are cured by resetting the CatRoot2 folder - and the others we've never been able to find a fix for short of a repair install of the OS.

    Hope that helps?

    I tried to run sfc.exe, but got the following message:

    "You must be an administrator running a console session in order to use the sfc utility"

    I'm logged as an administrator. What am I missing?

    Thanks

    I did download the iata_enu.exe file. But on the IRST web site, it is written:

    Purpose: 
    Installs the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (RAID) driver version 11.7.0.1013.

    This driver supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10. The driver should be installed after the operating system has been installed. F6 and RAID BIOS configurations need to be performed prior to installation of this driver for proper operation.
     

    Do I have to mess up with the BIOS and if so how should I do that?

    Thanks

    1) no - you don't need to touch the BIOS at all. The install also covers normal disk usage (it simply enables RAID fully as well). I have it installed on my laptop with no problems.

    2) All installs must be done using Administrator  privileges - do you have UAC switched off? If so, re-enable it and allow elevation when required. The 'Administrator Accounts' in Windows Vista and above only have full privileges at that time - otherwise they have reduced permissions to prevent the action of malware attempting to force-install unwanted programs.

    You seem to be running in a Standard User account - SFC must be run with Administrator privileges.

    SFC -System File Checker - Instructions

    Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories

    Right-click on the Command Prompt entry

    Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt
    - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.

      

    At the Command prompt, type

    SFC /SCANNOW

    and hit the Enter key

     

    Wait for the scan to finish - make a note of any error messages - and then reboot.

     

    Upload the CBS.log file (compressed, please!) to your OneDrive or DropBox Public folder, and post a link - also post a new MGADiag report.

    Hello,

    I had the same problem after replacing my HDD bu an SSD. I tried several solutions found on various forums, unsuccessfully.

    Moreover, No update of windows was possible, and also the "capture tool" dincluded in Windows 7 did not work anymore.

    1 or 2 months ago, I found this solution related to Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers.

    Of course I tried, and magically, everything is not working well, I don't have any error anymore, my windows is now "guenine", windows update and the "capture tool" work as before.

    I don't remember where I found the solution described here, but it really works.

    Thanks to all

    Jeanmicheu
