Another 10.4.11 problem, mac not working, please help

I know there are other topics on the 10.4.11 update messing up computers but i've tried their solutions and mine still won't work so any help would be really appreciated. I hadn't backed my recent stuff up aswell so i really don't want to just wipe it unless there is definately no other option.
I originally clicked ok to the update 10.4.11 for my emac thinking it would be a quick simple update... far from it!! I ended up holding the power button to turn my mac off after it froze on the update and since then when i turn it on it gets stuck on the grey screen.
I first tried archive and install and that goes really slow, does a check, starts the procedure then says there is an error and to try again, which i did about 3 times and still no luck. I then tried to hook my emac up to my macbook with a firewire cable, then firewire symbol shows on my emac but my HD doesn't show on my laptop (any ideas here?). So then i tried a disk repair and after about half an hr of spinning beachball it says 'Repairing disk failed with error - could not unmount disk'.
So now i'm really stuck, please help!

You must repair the HD somehow.
Have you tried booting from the Install CD/DVD then after you choose your language, a Menubar will show up top, find Disk Utility and run it from there.
If DU can't fix it then , your best bets are DiskWarrior from Alsoft...
