My 2 yr old Dell XPS shows up with the blue screen of "unmountable_boot_volume" error. I tried to use the repair function on the XP install disc which says it cannot find the hard drive. The dell diagnostics says a "return code 7". Dell says the HD is shot. Windows help says it might be a damaged master boot record. Can the boot record be repaired? I just want to be sure before I throw out this HD and all my data. Can a repair shop get it going if I take it out of the computer and leave it with them?

Again, when I try to use the XP install CD and attempt to repair it says that it cannot find the hard drive.... please do not recommend that.
