People on here are good with pooters, well beter than me anyway,

This morning i quickly went on geocache.com to get some cache locations for
a place i was going today (found 1 of them, and near another i found a young
pet rat wandering about, so i now have 3 pet rats :)

Anyhoo, half way through getting the geocache data, windowz informed me it
had downloaded an update, and would re-start my pooter in a few seconds, i
told it to f.ck right off and clicked wait an hour.

When i got the sh.t i needed transfered to me gps, i clicked to let windowz
restart me pooter (a laptop btw, HP G5000, came with vista home on it when
new 7 months ago, but that f.cked up and i recently put vista buisenes with
SP1 on it.. the buiseness version cos me dad gets all the windows discs for
his company, and i am allocated one of the licences)

Anyhoo, the laptop took the usual 10 minutes to shut down with much disc
thrashing due to the update doing it's sh.t, went to restart and the f.cker 
freezes, i get a quick blue screen of death and a re-start.

putting it into safe mode, it gets as far as the 'CRCDISK.SYS' jobbie, and
re-starts,

i tried the auto repair thingy by putting the vista dvd in the drive, it
couldent do owt, seems a fresh install is the only solution,

I can do that, nowt on the pooter i dont have a back up of, but if i do a
fresh install, when it gets that update again it'll do it again,

So anyone got any ideas of how to fix this?
