Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Installation Failure!

I have a Dell Dimension E520 running off a 32-bit OS of Windows Vista Ultimate. One day, I got an update notification that asked if I wanted to install the Service Pack 1. When I did, it restarted and displayed "Service Pack 1 did not install, Reverting changes, Do not turn off the computer." Now, it keeps restarting and stating that message... Nothing happens... I called up Dell, they said my warranty is expired, and I will have to pay 50 dollars to just talk to someone, and then other prices will be added on for whatever I will need. In my opinion, that's just plain ridiculous! I do have the discs that came with my PC. I see one of them that said something about reinstalling Vista, and another has my driver software's... Can someone help?!
 
Problem has been fixed... Did it all by myself.

For those who may have this problem also:

1) Insert the Vista re-installation disk that came with your PC.
2) Boot up, make sure your BIOS is set to boot up CD first (check Boot Setup menu at start-up).
3) When asked to boot off of CD, hit enter or any button.
4) Follow directions.
