However a few weeks ago my mother plugged out the power connector of my fathers computer to connect heir cleaning machine and the Windows boot sequence got corrupted so the machine was not able to start Windows after that issue, such things might happen

Anyway the harddisk itself is obviously ok, I just had to copy back the data from the last backup and everything is fine again...
just take care that you have another system you can boot from CD/DVD or USB stick in order to restore backups.

Awesome, so I don't have to be afraid that will happen ;p
Yeah I'll just make a back-up of everything just in case.
