You could boot from an install or repair disc and do a repair to see if that will work. If it doesn't, I use Linux Mint in these cases. You can download it from here: https://linuxmint.com/download.php , then burn the ISO to a DVD. You can boot from the DVD and be up and running in under 4 minutes without having to install anything. It has a user interface very similar to Windows so you don't have to know anything about Linux. It's a great tool to have in your toolbox. Of course a full system backup to an external hard would be the best, but I know some folks think that would give them leprosy. :D

Good luck.
