UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT

This laptop tried to restart after hibernating but could not. When I turned off and on again, I get this blue scress and the message is:
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
Technical information
*** STOP: 0x000000ED (0x80fofc80,0xc0000032,0x00000000,0x00000000)
I do not want to use recovery disc since it means loosing all data in the hard disk. Any ideas?

I have managed to fix this. It was a case of a damaged file system and i used the recovery disk to format it.

I mean I used chkdsk to repair the damage.
