Windows 7 won't start after interrupted update
I am working on a Windows 7 home computer for someone where it lost power while updates were being applied. Now it will not startup. I have booted from a Windows 7 disk, repair does not work, system restore does not work, I have attached pictures of the screen from the errors. I am at the point of rebuilding the system. Any Suggestions?

Did you try more than one restore point--I prefer going back to ones that are 2 to 3 weeks ago rather than the most recent.

I tried both the most recent and oldest restore points which resulted in two images I posted.
Based on the comment above I tried Bootrec /fixmbr and fixboot which completed succesfully. when I did the scanos it did not find any windows installations. These steps did not help. I am not familiar with bootrec so if there is more I can do let me know. Thanks for the good suggestions

Thanks for the helpful ideas I did end up rebuilding it.
Given all you have tried, remaining option might be to backup all the files. And reinstall...
