Cannot boot PC into recovery console

I have a PC here has veeb screwed up do to an automated download (Windows Service Pack 3). Now the machine won't boot....it goes through the Windows loading screen and then screen turns black....end of!

I can't boot it to safe mode. I can't even get in into reovery console. When booting from CD, into recovery console, it asks which installation I wish to load. Whe I press 1(c:\), the system hangs. Seems like I am well and truly stuck here...and the machine has to back tomorrow....arrghhh!

Any ideas on how to break into to remove SP3 by any other means?
