I have an Inspiron 1545 running vista home premium x64 bit. The problem started a few days ago. My computer randomly froze, so I shut it down and rebooted it. But it wouldn't go past the loading screen with the green loading bar. At one point it stayed on that screen for 19 hours. Nothing was working so I reinstalled the os. Once that was done it booted up correctly, but the desktop kept not responding. I shut it down and left it off for a day. Then when I went to boot it up, as soon as it got past the screen with the dell logo, a blue screen with lines of type came up for about 2 seconds then went back to the dell screen and kept doing that. I tried startup repair, and it said the root cause was "system volume on disk is corrupt". I've only had this hard drive since July of this year. Is there any way to repair this without having to buy a brand new hard drive? If not, please let me know how much a new one would cost, since my laptop is no longer under warranty.
