I'm having the same error code and there isn't a thing out there I could find
either to fix the problem. I think I'm going to have to spend the next three
weeks replacing and installing the operating system in order to fix this,
only it'll most likely happen again. The only thing I can think of is that
maybe there was a problem with the FDisk when I first installed which is
preventing update from working or I downloaded one of MS's wonderful updates
that are supposed to be installed by itself and was installed with other
updates which happens a little too often which is another reason why I keep a
Linux / Unix operating system on my other computer in case this happens and I
have to spend the next three weeks trying to figure this out.
I read and tried every single thing offered out there on hundreds of forums
and there's absolutely nothing about this error code 80010108. Another bug
created by MS or a rare thing?
