Critical error after Service Pack 1 Windows update
I installed service pack 1 and a few other updates last night on my dad's work computer. I think the computer somehow managed to power off last night before completing the update even though it was plugged in.
Now the computer can not boot windows because it get's stuck around update 300 and receives a fatal error.
I am trying to do system restore however I can't access it due to an administrator password on the laptop. I talked to their IT person and I still can't get the password to work.
My dad never made a recovery disk like I asked and doesn't have the Windows 7 Pro 32 bit disk so I can't access it that way. I only have a 7 Pro 64 bit disk and a 7 Home Premium 32/64 disk.
What other ways can I go about fixing the problem? It's critical it is fixed within the next 12-16 hours.
