No. I was not able to boot into anything.

Alright so you can't boot in any mode.
Do you have a bootable DVD or USB Flash Drive with your Windows version installation on it ?

Unfortunately no, my laptop came pre-installed with confidence home premium and no disk.

Alright. Do you have access to another computer from which you could create a bootable DVD or USB Flash Drive with your Windows edition installation .iso ?
Are you running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bits ?

And yes, it's 64 bit.
Where can I get the .iso from?

Well I'm trying to get a copy on the other laptop I have unfortunately, this other laptop is rather unresponsive.
And yes, it's 64 bit.

Ok. I got the iso on the my flash drive. What do I do now?
Did you just move the .iso to the USB Flash Drive or did you made the USB bootable with the .iso using a tool like Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool or YUMI ?

What do I need to do to make it Bootable?
The PC I'm using to put the iso on the flash drive is running Vista. I don't know if that matters or not.
EDIT
once I get it to be Bootable (if I do before your next response), what do I need to do? Run a chkdsk? Or just fresh install? Or something else?

Sorry for not getting back to you earlier, but real life happened. Please refrain from any other steps for now, because they lead you nowhere... I see there's too much chaos in these steps.
Tomorrow I will jump in here and review this whole thread, we will discuss this one and I will provide you with the next set of instructions.
Regards,
Naat

Hi
I have reviewed this thread and as far as I can tell a very bad coincidence had happened. I refer to automatic updates, which failed and made your machine totally unbootable.
The only one option I see for now will be trying to do a repair install. You should be able to do it, folowing the steps for a Repair Install.
But personally I doubt if it will take any effect, because we don't know what about the updates - what exactly failed. Also, because we can't even access your drive in any mode, we can't determine what is going on there.
I am sorry to say that, but I really doubt that we will be able to fix your issue. I really don't like to advise that, but the best course of action would be to use a live Linux CD to back-up your private data to an external drive and completely reformat & reinstall.

How can I do a repair install if I'm not able to boot?
Am I supposed to put the windows 7 iso on a Bootable flash drive the go from there?
