Got the blue screen error "unmountable_boot_volume".

Could not get the machine to load windows 7 either in normal mode or safe mode, the same BSOD just appears before loading desktop.

Reading around it seems to indicate either a "hard" hd damage or just a faulty sector. I manged to start windows repair tools but its been running for 2 hours now with the completion bar cycling saying "Attempting repairs.. repairing disk errors.. this might take over an hour"

Im probably going to leave it on in the living room and hope for it to have completed tomorrow, but if it hasnt I guess I have to send it to repair..

Anyone have any suggestions?

If it takes a VERY long time to do that disk repair, you may have a bit of physical damage to the drive.
You may lose a bit of data, and Id say the problem will get worse.

If you DO get it up and running, Id suggest backing up as much data as you can, and if it happens again, replace the drive.
