HELP!! - Vista Startup Repair Not Working

I had a problem with my laptop this morning and it moved automatically
to Startup Repair every time I restart the laptop. It was unable to fix
the problem automatically and when I tried to use the System Recovery
advanced options the following happens:
(a) Unable to use the System Restore
(b) Unable to use the recovery partition on the harddrive due to an
Error: 0X200110020000100A
(c) Unable to use chkdsk from command line as it says the drive is in
use and wants to unmount!
(d) The only option that appears viable is Full Reintall of Vista which
i am loathe to do.

I have a Gateway C-140X
Any advice or help will be appreciated :cry:

Thank you.

I would take it back for a new one.
You never know what caused the fault and it may be an intermittent one that
recurs.

I can't remember seeing a newsgroup where so few users had so many hardware
problems with new computers. Either their making real **** computers these
days or all these people are running Vista. What you think there Mr. (call
the reseller) Tech?

Cheers.
