Windows 10: Having issues installing updates since my previous primary boot drive died

Some backstory, I had my previous harddrive die out on me a couple months ago. System wouldn't boot due to not being able to locate a proper boot but I was able to use my USB and did a "repair" and was able to start booting without issue again so I thought everything was good.Update got pushed in July and ever since then it is failing back to back, it gets to 93/94% installing the update for it to then say it was unable to complete the installation, then it retries a second and sometimes a third time before finally bringing me to my login screen like usual. Official error code is 0x800f0922Fro

W7 Hard drive partition issue

to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

- press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
- diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
- list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
- select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
- clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
- create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
- exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
- click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

Check the boot order in the BIOS also, it might not have the hard drive as primary in the boot list.
