laptop accidentally shut down during windows update

I tried to shut down my laptop, the "Installing update, do not shut down or power off your computer" screen appears but my battery died during the update. And now when I startup the "Launch start up repair" appears and when i click it, I get stuck on a blue flower wallpaper screen thing and nothing appears. All i can see is the wallpaper and the mouse cursor. How do i fix this?

Hello mdzbkr, welcome to Seven Forums!


The easiest first thing to try is a system restore to a point before the failed update, if you can't get into Windows to do the restore, have a look Option Two of this tutorial at the link below and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.


How to Do a System Restore in Windows

I cannot seem to get past the blue screen thing. And the screen is blank with some flower designs.

Hi,

Did you try option 2 in the tutorial that BFK posted?

No as I couldn't get past the blue screen I described above.

You have to boot a Windows installation disk or a created Windows repair disk and run the system restore from there.

Is it fine if I create the disc using an acer laptop tho the broken one is from dell?

If you are trying to repair a PC with the SP 1 installed you will have to use a repair CD created from a PC including the SP 1 to be successful.

Sorry but what's an SP 1?
