wont startup

[Guest]

i have a sony computer and it worked last night but then this morning i turned it on and i get a screen that says "we apologize for the inconvenience, windows did not start properly" then there are some options like startup in safe mode. if you pick it or wait a few seconds then it goes to a blue screen that says "a problem has been detected & windows has been shut down to prevent damage" then it has a command propmt thing "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" then it tells you what to do, check newly installed hardware, but i dont have any. at the bottom is says "*** STOP: 0x000000ED (0x80E24848, 0xC0000032, 0x00000000, 0x00000000
what should i do???
