Help!

I tried installing the update earlier this morning with dire consequences. My MB Pro will no longer boot. Just a grey screen with a blinking folder w/question mark. Here's the problem: I have a backup stored on a firewire drive, but it is a sparse image so I think I need to start up from the OS X install disc BEFORE I can boot from my backup. Correct?

Trouble is, I'm home sick, my Leopard discs are at work, and all I have here is my Tiger discs. I would love to get it up and running, so does anyone have any thoughts? Will starting up from the OS 10.4 discs in order to run Disk Utility work, or am I just asking for trouble? Should I wait until I can make it back into work?

Signed,

Frustrated
