Disk error on Windows 8.1 (in MacMini)

Just when I thought everything at home started to run fine, one of my desktop machine, a MacMini (Last 2009 model) has a disk error booting.  And since the internal DVD drive also failed to work, I had to use my external DVD drive to boot up a Windows 8.1 Update 1 disc, and start to repair process.  In fact, as of now, the repair is still going on.  The screen says "Repairing disk errors.  This might take over an hour to complete."  Oh joy.

In fact, I need to remind myself how to get to that repair screen, cause after I booted up, I got an option to Repair computer.  But then it show me options of refreshing the machine by resetting everything.  So I had to explicitly choose the "Advance Option", and then choose "Repair Bootup" to fix just the boot up part.

Well let's hope that I have some good news at the end.
