BSOD: unmountable_boot_volume --- There's something wrong with my HDD

Ok, As far as you can see this is another unmountable_boot_volume BSOD case and first of all, here's my story:

My pc is a 5 month old Sony Vaio VGN-FZ21Z, which due to overheating (due to lack of ventilation) I was forced to shutdown by cutting off it's power (10 sec, power key). When I tried to boot i got that lovely BS with the above error message.

I've dealt with that BSOD before but never in vista, and I'd appreciate any help since:

Formating is out of question
The recovery disk is in the hidden recovery partition within the HDD
*****I NEED MY FILES*****
XP installation disk can't start the command line

The only thing that keeps me wondering whether I got any chance to save my files is the fact that when I attempt to boot windows when selecting "Recover system" (Or something similar to that) I get a black screen and the mouse pointer.

Any suggestions??? I seriously need help guys!!!!!!!

BTW, I got a 300gb HDD...

Ok, today I managed to access my files using Knoppix.They were all intact.
I'm still trying to figure out how to fix the boot failure, as windows recovery does not seem to work.
