Encountered a similar problem with my old laptop that I rebuilt last week. I actually ended up having to format it again, (blew away the partitions,) and then I ended up downloading Samsung's SoftwareUpdate utility. It was able to push the first couple of critical updates through with it, and from there it installed the rest.
Have you tried installing the newest version of Windows Update? You can find the standalone patch via Google+db.microsoft.com
