My iMac hard drive died and I got a new one installed from Apple and my dad's friend installed Leopard for me and he started to download and install the updates from Apple and I don't know if he stopped the install midway but when I tried to download and install them NONE of them install. I called Apple and they told me to try something in Disk Utility with "verify disk" and it didn't work still and then they sent me something about trying to Archive and Installing but it seems really complicated. Is there anything else I can try?
Got a tip for us?

Yes, you should do an Archive and Install at this point
Put in the Leopard install disk
Reboot your machine holding down the Option key
Select the Install DVD
Once it has booted, you will have the option to do a clean install or an Archive and Install
Choose to Archive and Install
Once that completes... you should be OK to run Software Update again
