Title: Im an idiot
Post by: Swampy 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!

start it in safe mode, and then go back to a safe save point

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!
