Unmountable boot volume error message?????
hi folks,
have an e-machines 130, 900mhz Celeron running windows XP that has suddenly developed an error that i can't seem to fix. When you boot it up it come up with the standard screen saying that windows did not start successfully and offers the options of "safe mode", "safe mode with networking" and "Safe mode with command prompt" and "last know good configuration". it also counts down to autostart in normal mode. However, whichever option you choose it then goes onto a blue screen with the following message: a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME if this is the first time you have seen this error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again follow these steps. If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. if you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select startup options, and then select safe mode. Technical information: *** STOP: 0x000000ED (0x80E91E30,0XC0000032,0X000000000,0X000000000) I have never come across this sort of error before and i am a bit baffled. Is it a hardware problem or something with windows? unmountable boot volume suggests hard drive problems to me but seemed unlikely. Any advice you can offer that would point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated Cheers John |

Any advice you can offer that would point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated Boot information has become corrupt, usually because some part of the file system is corrupted. Boot the XP CD and select recovery console. Login (admin) if it requires you to. At the command prompt: chkdsk /r (after that completes) fixboot exit (to leave recovery console and reboot) Cheers John |
