I need help please.....

I'm running windows xp on an emachine tower ....my friend came by and was on the computer looking up myspace stuff when she got off my screensaver was gone.
I was able to do a restore point but no screensaver so I rebooted and the windows updates started loading ....when it was on 2 of 7 my 2 yr old turned it off now all I get is the sorry for your inconvience windows can't load ....(this isn't b.s.) I tried every option and threats....nothing works I don't have the restore disk. can anyone help?

 

Tried safe mode? Tap the F8 key while computer is booting, choose Safe Mode, go to Start, Accessories, Command Prompt type in chkdsk c:/r That is chkdsk, then a space, then c:/r then hit enter, follow any prompts such as check on next boot answer y, hit enter, then type in exit , hit enter and reboot. I am assuming Windows is installed on C. Later set Automatic Updates to notify but not download or install. When finished updating close without reboot to see which updates were installed, then reboot. There is a Microsoft program called Steady State you may want to look into. Everyone in our home has their own pc, or 2. If they hose it they hose their own. rolleyes

 

Thank you I will write all this down and try it...

 

can't reboot in any mode ......just goes to emachine logo then back to black page with mode options

 

Is there anything else I can do? I try to reboot in each mode at least 3xs. I'm not sure what else to do.
