I was updating my my bios connections through HP updates. Had a window up that said Warning: "Do Not Power Down While Installing Updates!". Well, guess what the wife did? She entered the room and powered down the box. Now it wont boot up. Initialy, it said to enter System Recovery Disks. Which I can't find, anywhere. I have Vista 32 bit. I tried to go online with my wife's laptop to burn some disks from HP, but dont see it anywhere. Is there an option for me to get this desktop up and running, or is it cheaper to buy a new pc? I have my personal files saved on an external hd. Just need to get Windows up and running...

Try restarting and tapping the 'F8' key. When menu pops up with options try starting in safe mode.
It would be cheaper to buy a recovery disk from HP.
 
What happens exactly when you try to boot it up? If the update went bad then the computer won't boot at all and all you'll see is a black screen.
