Backup all your important data (files, folders, emails, contacts, serial
numbers, invoices, PDFs, spreadsheets, databases, favorites, bookmarks,
installation executables, etc...) IMMEDIATELY. Just in case.

Search using Google!

A google search for the exact message you gave:

Unmountable Boot Volume

You also may want to go to the hard drive manufacturer's web page (support
section - downloads) and grab their diagnostics utility to ensure the drive
is not defective.
