Doubtful... You'll need to use a OS Install disc to repair System/Registry files. If you have the System Install Disc, put it in your optical drive while your PC is already up and running. When the Auto-Run prompts, allow it to run, but rather than starting a fresh install, select the "Repair" option... It should then scan your system & settings and replace any missing or broken files. However, if your system can't start at all, place the OS Install disc into your optical drive while it has power then shut down your system. Wait 10 seconds and restart. Boot from the CD and then select the "Repair" option as mentioned.
Good Luck on fixing your system :-D
Resolution: Boot into Recovery Console and run "fixmbr" to repair the MBR

Symptoms: "Windows could not start not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM"
Cause: Corrupt/missing system hive
Resolution: 1. Boot into Recovery Console and run "chkdsk C: /f" to check the system disk for errors and fix them, then reboot. 2. If the error continues and System Restore is enabled, copy the system hive from the last restore point into \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG 3. If the error continues, copy the system hive from \WINDOWS\REPAIR into \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG 4. If the error continues, perform a repair installation by booting from the Windows installation media

Scanning computer to eliminate malwares, spywares and the viruses from your laptop.
2- Repairing and cleaning Windows registry.
These two tips are found to be very helpful to fix the laptop shutdown problem. Almost all the computer users surf internet which could result in viruses attacking your system. Some of these infections are really pesky and cause the machines to shutdown randomly.
The registry errors, however, are the internal errors and can become a cause of system crashes and freezes. The registry keys shall be in good health to keep a system perfect.
When I noticed my laptop keeps shutting down everytime, I tested the Intel Software Partner, RegInOut to fix the random shutdown problem with my laptop.
That's a hardware problem, the file system is munged and the hard drive cannot be loaded. Often times, this is only resolved by recreating the system volume and starting from scratch. Boot from the DVD and try running a chkdsk /r from the recovery environment (choose the command prompt option), see if it can fix the drive. Otherwise, you may have to go the long way 'round. Hopefully you backed up your data on a regular basis.
The reason the drive won't mount is because the RAID is corrupted. It may require manual intervention. You would have to log in through root on the box. How long did you wait before trying to mount a partition. Trying waiting 2-3 hours (if you see lots of disk activity they are going through a repair). If you see none then you have to go the manual intervention route as root and run the "md" commands to identify the root cause and repair the volume.

You would need to use the RAID tools on the linux os loaded on the unit in order to repair.
