Im an idiot
« on: April 23, 2004, 04:14:57 PM »
So, I got a DVD burner yesterday. I install it, and am loading the drivers. By accident, I kick the tower and the power cable comes out. When I turn it back on, it opens to a blue screen. its called "Unmountable_Boot_Volume" It says that there was a problem with new hardware and to reset. I reset, same screen GRRRR. Says to unconnect hardware. done. reset... blue screen. It says to try to start in safe mode, but I cant figure out how to. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ABOUT WHAT I CAN DO???? Im on the parents computer, and Im going to go nuts without mine!!! THANKS!

Unmountable_Boot_Volume isn't the type of error that typically can be resolved thru safe mode...

The BSOD probably looks like this:
STOP 0x000000ED (0xaaaaaaaa,0xbbbbbbbb,0xcccccccc,0xdddddddd) UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

What does the 0xbbbbbbbb look like? If its 0xC0000032 then you're not gonna be too happy - it translates to not being able to read the file system... If you have an XP CD handy you can boot to the recovery console & run 'chkdsk /r' on the drive & hopefully it will find/fix whatever is causing Windows to not be able to mount the drive.

I'd suggest googling the 0xbbbbbbbb value (in its entirety) along with Unmountable_boot_volume if it doesn't match what I put above.

good luck!

Governor Jim McGreevey was equally disturbed about the upcoming population increase. "New Jersey cannot support all of these wookies," he said. "For starters, we don't have nearly enough kindbud. At best, we can muster up a Q.P. of some beasties, but we've not a dime-bag more."

Thanks for the help... I need to find my XP disc...
