Cannot download Win Updates after Vista Reinstall on New HDD

Hello!
This is what I have going on.....
Toshiba Satellite L305-S5942 original hdd crashed. Bought a new HDD and I've already installed Windows Vista Home. I was able to register my key and validate Windows. But now when I try to download the Windows Updates I get errors. I've researched the errors up until now. I've tried using FixIt and that didn't work. I've tried using the Readiness Tool and I get a "catastrophic error" error message. I've even tried downloading Vista SP2 standalong installer and I still can't get any updates.
I did see something about a Toshiba laptop owner having issues after reinstalling on a new drive and it said something about installing some driver called Intel Radid Storage Technology. I have not been able to anything about this anywhere else.
Does anyone have a solution for the issues I'm having? Does changing the HDD from original really affect me from getting Win Updates even after I've already validated my Windows Key?
Solved!

Sounds like you have restored to a drive with advanced-format technology. What is the exact model of the drive? We'll look it up.
In the meantime, try installing this new storage driver.

  • Help, cannot download software updates after HD erased!

    Hello community,
    Back story: I'm an ISM major, so I'm typically pretty good with computers. I've also played with some torrents and I understand the risks that come with them but I'm someone who does my research before downloading. Well, I have Leopard (running 10.6.3 currently) and obviously, I kept up to date all the way up to 10.6.8. However, I wanted to get Lion so I downloaded a copied version of the "App Store" version of OS X Lion. This is where the issue begins. I started downloading then in the middle of the download it says cannot continue, hard drive has an issue or has failed (something of that nature).
    Issue: So, I erased my HD completely. It was the only option, especially since I lost my original Macbook Pro discs (2008 version Macbook). I erased it, even the Apple guy on the phone agreed that if I did this I should be good to go. Well, I'm not. I'm trying to get back to 10.6.8 so I can start recooping all my lost stuff but when it goes to download the combo update it always stops midway through saying "cannot connect to server" or "update may be corrupt," etc. I don't understand the issue...this may as well be a brand new computer again, no? I'm very computer savvy but this is just boggling my mind. I've searched hundreds of topics and nothing works. For the longest time I was getting "invalid checksum." SO, I erased my HD again, don't get that anymore, and now I'm back to the "update corrupt" issue.
    Someone please help me, I'll be checking this every couple minutes all night. I couldn't get a Genius appointment until Thursday so I'm trying to just fix this myself.
    PS: Everything works fine, I can download everything as usual, etc. I literally just cannot get any Apple stuff. I've even tried downloading it from the page to avoid the "Software Update App" and it still screws up.
    Thanks!

    I have Leopard (running 10.6.3
    Leopard is 10.5.x, 10.6.x is Snow Leopard.
    I wanted to get Lion so I downloaded a copied version of the "App Store" version of OS X Lion
    Wouldn't work even if it downloaded succesfully, Lion & up are internally keyed to UUIDs, Apple IDs, & more.
    Try the 10.6.8 Update directly...

    I have an Apple iphone 4s and for the last 4 weeks I cannot download or update any apps. I have an iPad and a Mac book pro and the apps download on these devices fine. My phone tells me that I have 12 updates but when I press update all or update any individually nothing happens at all. It also does not ask me for my password any more but my iPad and mac book do.
    I have signed in and out of the app store and the password is correct. I have tried both kinds of reboot but that did nothing. I have tried to update the apps by connecting phone to Mac book pro...it shows the apps being download on the Mac book and says it will sync them to my phone but it does not. Everything else on my phone works fine.
    Any ideas ...Please!

    Thank you, this has resolved both the iphone and ipad problem immediately.  I am concerned that I may have a problem with apps that I bought under my old  AppleID as they will not be recognised.  Any suggestions for this please?

    If the machine was upgraded to Lion 10.7.x by the original owner then you bought an illegal license of Lion and also of any other applications that the seller  said came pre-installed, this assumes the seller did not include original install media. In that case you need to contact the seller for the original install DVDs that came with the machine re-install up to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then purchase Mountain Lion ($20) and the applications you want or need. If the seller cannot come up with the original install discs then you can buy them from a nominal cost from AppleCare..

  • Cannot download or update  application in app store

    Cannot download or update  application in app store
    how i should to do?? And why?

    Been having the same problem on my iPhone 5. My App Store opens, but when I go to download anything, the download just times out. I even see the app appear on my home screen with the "Waiting..." title, then suddenly it disappears. Has happened with many different apps, so it seems to be more than a third-party issue.

  • I cannot download nor update apps through Apps Store, error message states that app cannot be downloaded, to try again later, this has been happening for the  last five days. Help!

    I cannot download nor update apps through Apps Store, error message states that app cannot be downloaded, to try again later, this has been happening for the  last five days. Help!
    It started when tryung to update Twitter. Now the problem is with every app I try to update or download.

    I have this issue as well. The App Store icon indicates there are updates available but when I open the app a popup says it can't connect to the store and the screen remains white. I have tried a hard reset (power & home button) and several other suggestions I have found throughout the forums here without success.

  • HT1222 Cannot download Security Update 2013-01. It always aborts. Why?

    Every time I run "Software Update", I get one result: Security Update 2013-01.  But when I try to download the update, after telling me it will take 12-14 hours, it aborts and says it may be corrupt.  Can I get the update on a disk?

    You could try downloading the update directly from Apple's website, outside of Software Update, then applying it.   http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1642

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on More Info, and check the model identifier against the following, which are the earliest Macs of each type that can run Mountain Lion and Mavericks:
    iMac7,1
    MacBook5,1
    MacBookPro3,1
    MacBookAir2,1
    Macmini3,1
    MacPro3,1
    Xserve3,1
    A computer incapable of running Mountain Lion which has a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU and at least 2GB of RAM can run Lion 10.7, which is available from the online Apple Store.
