Windows Update broken... ESE Database Page Cache error 474
Hi Guys
OS is Windows Server 2003 SP1 Enterprise 32-bit
Can't use Windows Update, can't install any software! Getting ESENT Event 474 in the Event Log with the following description:
wuaueng.dll (3668) SUS20ClientDataStore: The database page read from the file "C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistri bution\Dat aStore\Dat aStore.edb " at offset 3997696 (0x00000000003d0000) for 4096 (0x00001000) bytes failed verification due to a page checksum mismatch. The expected checksum was 2680095513 (0x9fbf0319) and the actual checksum was 2679833369 (0x9fbb0319). The read operation will fail with error -1018 (0xfffffc06). If this condition persists then please restore the database from a previous backup. This problem is likely due to faulty hardware. Please contact your hardware vendor for further assistance diagnosing the problem.
What do I restore? And where to? Help! Falling further and further behind with Windows Updates! I've tried SFC /Scannow - seems to run thru everything and not report any issues...

Nearly there - but a massive number of errors in the Application Log are stopping a few of the updates installing - including IE7 and Service Pack 2:
Catalog Database (852) Catalog Database: The database page read from the file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\CatRo ot2\{F750E 6C3-38EE-1 1D1-85E5-0 0C04FC295E E}\catdb" at offset 1880064 (0x00000000001cb000) for 4096 (0x00001000) bytes failed verification due to a page checksum mismatch. The expected checksum was 3439027150 (0xccfb63ce) and the actual checksum was 3439289294 (0xccff63ce). The read operation will fail with error -1018 (0xfffffc06). If this condition persists then please restore the database from a previous backup. This problem is likely due to faulty hardware.

Any ideas?
