The failing HDD would have to be replaced first then use the restore media and then let it update.
I'm unsure how long you've been using PCs but HDDs are pretty cheap compared to years ago.

Well basically the computer shut down after freezing while trying to install 125 updates, got to 97 and was stuck there after a few days. The model is an HP G62-140US (AMD Processor) Running Windows 7. The hard drive also failed the BIOS diagnostics test... If anyone knows maybe how to fix this, it would be a great help. Thanks in advance! =3
