Ah, gash jesh people. Ok, your hard drive is probably on it's last leg or just plain dead. Depending on how much your data is worth to you I recommend going out and getting a copy of SpinRite. It can usually make a drive stable long enough to get your data off the drive, eg. you'll be able to boot into Windows for a while before the entire drive is dead.
Also the BSOD can mean many things. Google is your friend. Use it, and yes I know this is yahoo and there is yahoo search but it doesn't seem to give you valid tech results. Use google.

Your hard drive has failed, install a new hard drive and even upgrade to a larger one and then reinstall your operating system from recovery CD. If you do not have a recovery Cd you can order one from the manufacturer of your computer. Hope you have kept your files etc. backed up as there is no good or cheap way to recover them.
Hope this helps

"... says something about unammountable boot volume..." Then that is a broken hard drive; partially broken by the word of it since you even got in to choose Safe Mode and stuff.

have a friend download an ISO copy of "Knoppix". Burn it to a CD. It is a linux CD that will boot to a Linux system. It will not install anything to the hard drive. With a little "looking around" you will be able to see your old hard drive and copy info to an external drive or burn it to a CD. Knoppix has a CD burning program with it.

your computer has a corrupt copy of windows, this "blue" screen is called, "THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH" and like the name says, its the end of your computer, you will have to re-install windows to it, to get any information you had, music, pictures, vidos, whatever, you will have to go to someone that knows, basically will remove hdd and put it in another computer witha working windows, save your information and reinstall windows, if u have the cds tat came with the laptop, it would make it easier, sorry for the Blue Screen of DEATH

sounds like your hard drive has failed. however you can run your xp disk and see if you can do a repair ( third screen that appears when you boot from cd ) just incase corrupted boot data
