Power failure during repair: Laptop not booting
Boggin:
It sounds like that power outage has taken out your HDD - which wouldn't normally happen unless there was a spike in the voltage before it went out.
When the power goes down and you have a battery installed, that should take over seamlessly so there's no disruption to your running.
Are you able to create a SeaTools for DOS disk to boot up with it which will check out your HDD.

If it's still running then let it complete - a /r repair can take a while to complete but pressing CTRL+c will cancel the operation.
