Yes, you can solve this issue without any intervention for next steps or anything else.

I am also suffering with the same problem when I was working with my mom's laptop. I was installing the updates and after completion of installation,swtched off the laptop and when I start that, It come up with the same error that you all are discussing about. It occurred the same error that you are talking about and posted in the quote.

How to solve this problem because it automatically goes to stop on the point of error ?

Well, you can easily resolve the problem with some of the steps after Boot up the computer, and during the boot process repeatedly hit Alt+F10. Using this key, The computer would switch into the recovery prompt internally. That should take you to a system recovery menu,then that procedure would help to restore the computer to as it was when it left the factory.

if you got your data safely backed up? there is no issue but if you don't have positive response then proceed with much care and post back what you see on the recovery options screen.

If you have tried and getting proper result then no need to worry about that but in case, if you are not not getting exact response then it can cause some different problem not related to the message displayed during the error. There can be something wrong there then Run the disk diagnostic for your brand of disk drive (if you don't know what make it is run Sea tools). Download UBCD and burn it to CD, it has all the disk testing utilities on it plus a lot of useful tools besides, then just boot with the disc in the drive and choose the utility that you need.
