Vista - Start-Up Repair will NOT work. Will not boot Vista.

I have an Acer Extensa laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium installed.
Its been working great for over a year now untill yesterday when all of
a sudden it wouldn't boot up properly. It continued to go to start-up
repair, but that kept on failing. After trying all other tools, (system
restore had no restore points for some odd reason)... I tried safe mode.
That did not work. It instead went back to the start-up repair screen.
The same warning message popped up everytime it failed "Cannot repair
automatically, click finish blah blah blah". When I bought this laptop
from Best Buy, I did not recieve any type of Disk for Vista, it was
already loaded on there... I would rather not do a clean install and
hope there is another way to fix this. Thank you.

Just checked and the "chkdsk/f" will not work on command prompt, says
drive is in use and instead of booting up at start up repair continues
to come up.

No it's not.

I have the same problem and I did everything specified above, I ran
chkdsk/f from vista's recovery cd that I downloaded and it changed
nothing. I'm at a dead end here I don't want to have to reinstall vista
and my drivers.
