Manually shut down computer during windows update

[bigjim28]

My windos update (a Servicepack update) was taking a very long time to update, so I manually shut down the computer.  Upon powering it back up, the "Startup Repair" ran and had me restart a few different times.  After about 5 times, its said that windows cannot repair this computer automatically.

Any ways to fix this?

Thanks

You won't do it in the future, will you?

I manually shut down the computer.

By pressing the power button? Or (even) worse, pulling the plug? Man, you were crazy to do this!

Ok, I fixed it.  It was vista.  I ran the system restore feature by pressing F8 (or control and F11) right away when the computer restarted and going to "boot with last known good configuration".  It basically started my windows as brand new and I had to back up all files.

Not a great fix but it works, and probably is the only option.
