What update did you interrupt ? If it was a firmware update that could cause some problems.
Try booting into the recovery mode, boot while holding command-R and see what happens.

Yes it was a firmware update i belive it had something to do with mountain lion

I am not sure. You would need to know the Apple ID/Password of the person who you got the install from I would think.
 
How much RAM there was inside MBP before Mountain Lion installation?
Sometimes, you need to put your original RAM, install OS, and then put back the upgraded RAM
(I have encountered the case when I had to do it)

Anyway, clean install would have been a better choice.
