Macbook Pro not booting, DU shows "Keys out of Order" and disk not repairible

Hello, I suddenly had a problem where my OSX stopped booting, I tried repairing through Disk Utility and fsck multiple times but it's not reparing, I was going to try DiskWarrior but, my Macbook is brand new (June 2012) Not the one with retina and ssd no, the regular one and the current bootable DVD of Diskwarrior doesn't support this version yet, The harddrive isn't toast because my Bootcamp partition is running fine, any suggestions?

Thank you.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012), Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Are you trying to repair your disk as you're logged on the primary partition or from the recovery partition?

If you're running Lion or Mountain Lion, I would try and repair your disk from the recovery partition rather than your primary disk. You can do this by holding down Command-R on startup. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718)

From there you can run Disk Utility. Try repairing permissions and then run fsck from the terminal.

If this doesn't work, try starting up your mac in Single user mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492) and attempting the same.

And as a last resort, I would try resetting your system's PRAM (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379)

REMEMBER TO BACK UP YOUR DATA BEFORE ALL OF THIS! (Or atleast be aware that you may lose some or all of your data on the disk)

The problem is, in my country we don't have apple store we have an authorized disturbutor and I don't think they will replace it becasue what happened wasn't an out of the box error or a factory defect.
