How to fix my Windows Vista Gateway Laptop? It wont start up! Please Help!?

November 29, 2009

I have a gateway laptop and whenever I turn in on, it wont go to the log in screen. I says :

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. then there are 2 options Launch start up repair or start windows normally. When i clicked start windows normally, the green bar thing loads for like 5 minutes, then it just goes black. When I tried Launch start up repair, the results showed 1 root cause. It says system volume on disk is corrupt
repair action: file system repair (chkdsk)
result: completed successfully error code 0x0

Can anyone please help? Thanks in advance
