Definitely take it to whoever sold it to you. They'll run some disc rescue utilities and run fsck to check your hard drive and recover your data. Then you'll need the hard drive replaced (even if you don't need to, insist on it anyway since you have a guarantee).
This is what you have

The crash mangled your hard drive's directory structure. You will need stronger medicine than Disk Utility, something like Disk Warrior or TechTools. You may not need to replace the drive, but you do need to figure out what caused the crash.

This IS about a MacBook Pro, right? Why does the title say "iMac"? I'll fix it...

Someone had the same problem on their iMac and the rest is easy to follow.

And you did go out and buy an external HD to keep a regular backup of your data right?
