Default [Resolved] Unmountable_boot_volume

Okay, well here is my problem. I was logging in to my Laptop, and it froze once I entered my password. So, I had to turn the power off manually. Then after that I got "The Blue Screen of Death".
It gives me the error "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME". I followed the directions that the screen gave me, but I still got the screen. I later looked up help and the help said to go to recovery mode and do chkdsk /r or something along those lines. Well, I did that and then my computer locks up/freezes at "Starting System Recovery . . .", the computer freezes up right after the loading bar goes past the 'y' in Recovery. Some help would be highly appreciated, if not I will most likely take a sledge hammer to it .

Other Info:
Technical information:
*** STOP: 0x000000ED (0x85B5D4E8, 0xC000009C, 0x00000000. 0x00000000)

Hey nyle, welcome to PCHF.

Well, my initial reactions would have also been damaged file system which chkdsk would have fixed, but I would have expected to see 0xC0000032 instead of 0xC000009C on the second part of that stop error.

The only remaining software solution is within your BIOS. Go into you BIOS and load your default settings from there. This stop error can occur if your UDMA settings have been set to fast.

If it's freezing whilst attempting to access the HDD, then this would indicate that it can see the drive, but it's unable to access the drive. Since it is a laptop, I'm afraid the only remaining options beyond this point are quite drastic.
