Won't configure after updates

Automatic updates installed last night and when I went to turn on my computer this morning, my computer goes from:
Configuring updates: Stage 1 of 3 - 0% comlete to
Configuring updates: Stage 3 of 3 0% complete then reboots.

It does this CONSTANTLY!

I pressed F8 and went into Repair Your Computer.
I've tried: Startup Repair, Sytem Restore, and Command Prompt with chkdsk /f which gives me the reply: The type of the file system is NTFS. Cannot lock current drive. Windows cannot run disk checking on this volume because it is write protected.

I don't have a back up disk and I don't want to lose all my important documents and family pictures.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Answering my own question in case anyone else has this problem.

While looking for my original disks that came with my HP pavillion dv6000, I found a paper that said "Restore Your System Without Discs." My notebook did not come with discs. I was supposed to burn them from the computer. :sa:

BUT - it also said "To repair or restore from the hard drive, restart the computer and press F11 when prompted." So I did, and it brought me to the Recovery Manager. From this wizard, I was able to do the chkdsk. I chose for it to scan the Windows partition. The computer found and repaired loads of bad clusters. When I clicked "next," the computer rebooted, configured the updates and started perfectly! Whew!:D
