I haven't used my X301 much in over a year since converting to the Dark Side! (Macs) Long Story! Anyway the X301 is a great machine and I wanted to do all the updates before selling it. (54 days warranty left) All the Lenovo drivers/bios are up to date. I've also updated all the Microsift Windows updates but SP1. It keeps failing with 80004005 Error.
Windows is Activated w/Genuine Upgrade Disks. Wondering if anyone else has experienced similar problem w X301? TIA

Windows 7 Pro SP1 Update Failure on X301
Cheers from someone who repaired IBM computers w/60,000 vacumn tubes in the early 60's and still hasn't found a better keyboard than IBM's!

Re: Windows 7 Pro SP1 Update Failure on X301
I had the same problem. X301 don't like SP1.
Use the Windows fix, then do a system clean with CCleaner.
Clean all your registry, and all your system files.
Then reboot, and run the installer again.
It may take a long time but it should work.
At some point it will look like its stuck, just leave it be and it will eventually install fine.

Re: Windows 7 Pro SP1 Update Failure on X301 FIXED now FS!
I appreciate the help, but followed both paths and it still failed the upgrade. I did a complete re-install of Vista from the original recovery discs and then did the Windows 7 Pro Upgrade. Voila! After an endless period Windows Upgrades, etc. I activated Windows and ran the SP1 upgrade successfully! If any one wants a nice X301 with a little over a month and a half warranty it's now available!
