Windows Update doesn't work 8007000b error on a fresh installation

I did a fresh installation of vista ultimate this morning and activated it
successfully. I am able to connect to the internet. I tried to run windows
update and got a message that windows update itself first needs to be
installed. I clicked through but it doesn't work and I get the same error
code 8007000b. How is this possible?

Bye,
Freudi

I meant to say that it tells me that windows update first needs to be
updated.

I tried the cmd prompt method - run as administrator and type in fsutil
resource setautoreset true c:\ and it returns an error message "the file or
directory is corrupted or unreadable".

Hello nhey,

Goto start and run and type (remember the space after SFC)

SFC /SCANNOW

press enter and let it scan your system, if any files are damaged or missing
they will be replaced using the files on the windows disk

I tried it, and something quickly flashed across my screen and disappeared.
No program started up...

Hi nhey,

In Vista run it from an elevated command prompt. Right click command on
start and run as administrator.

you can get more detailed information about the error by looking in
C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\cbs.log


This is a text file containing records of everything sfc does while it runs.

Examine the log file using a text editor such as Notepad, and look for error
messages near the bottom of the file.

Once we know more details about the exact problem sfc is hitting, we may be
abe to suggest ways to fix it.

See this KB article for more background on the CBS.Log file.
