    Please, please help.

    Although it is a Windows XP installation CD, should NOT be used either of the functions of the Installation. You will use the Recovery Console to run a program to check the structure of files on the hard drive and fix it if necessary. There is VERY little chance of what either being deleted! And you'll still have SP3 when all is said and done. :-)

    That being said, it is important to ensure that everything is always stored safely.

  • Blue Screen of Death UnMountable_Boot_Volume 0x000000ED

    I get the same message on two desktop computers.  Two of these errors occurred in few days when computers "freeze" while he was working and there was no way out except to turn off and loose.  Neither has been able to load Windows since!

    Both are running Windows xp professional that has been purchased for each computer an update for XP provided on these computers.  I UPGRADE the two original install discs, but I can't use the drive for repairs because the computer boots apparently directly from the HD.

    I still go into this loop.  Windows has encountered an error.  Please restart in: safe mode, last known config or normal etc).  Of course, none of these options do restart except the process of starting the same way.

    I got to the Console of Microsoft recovery with some extra options, but that takes me right to the Blue Screen of Death with details about the error message: Unmountable_boot_volume with the hex codes (the first being 0x000000ED on both computers).

    I found several solutions on the internet, but they all assume that you can go to Safe Mode and run other programs like Chckdisk.  But I just can't.  I got (accidentally I might add) on the screen of the Bios utility.  Maybe it's (HP) computers or age, but on one of the computers, the BIOS page it shows:

    Configuration of the BIOS:

    Master of the first string: Maxtor with numbers.

    First channel slave (none)

    2nd channel Master (HP DVD Writer)

    2nd channel slave (IDE-DVD-Rom 16 x)

    3rd channel Master (None)

    4 channel Master (none).

    In the BIOS utility menu, I tried the F5 to reset the values by default, recorded and released, but everything is still show no change.

    I spend more than 2 hours on the phone with HP trying to get this resolved nothing doesn't.  The technician that I talked to had no idea how to fix this error - even if he said "no problem we will fix that in a minute."  While with this technology, I disconnected everything, rebooted several times by pressing F8 F9, F10 and DELETE, F1.  Finally, he said that the best thing I could do was wipe my hard drive and reinstall the software.

    Of course this is not a solution if the start of corruption can be solved.  And besides, even if I was willing to do that (I'm not still), how the hell I get computers to reinstall the software for two obvious reasons: 1) I have windows XP upgrade disks are installed and 2) the computer cannot read the discs anyway.

    I searched and found a lot of "bugs" on the internet, so it must be a fixable problem.  But most of the solutions assume that you can access your BIOS and change (even if nobody ever says what you should change to?), and then run the patches since the installation of XP discs.  I was also on many other sites that provide a Bootable CD to start Windows XP, but I can not get my computer to see the CD before it starts up.  I tried all suggestions as press F2 when the computer is turned on, and then select boot from CD.  But while on a few occasions, I got the "press any key to boot from CD" (once accidentally so I do not know how to get this message again), it doesn't matter what key has been pressed, it just took me in the loop.

    Does anyone have an answer that starts from the beginning assuming that the computer will not read from the CD and walking then how to understand and fix this problem.  I am sure that there is someone out there who knows how to help with this error message.  At least I hope.  I'm not technical, please keep answers in simple language.  Thanks a lot for your help

  • On Automatic configuration update 3 of 3 endless loop, blue error screen "Unmountable_boot_volume".

    I'm not techie so need very basic instructions of computer. My dilemma is that my laptop is stuck on an endless reboot loop after he was trying to do an automatic update of Vista. I get a blue screen that informed me that she "Unmountable_boot_volume" I tried the F8 option it suggests but it will not affect this screen.  I tried to start it in safe mode, but even once, no joy, I put in a recovery disc but again once, the screen does not change. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you

    Hi PatriciaHearn,

    Follow these steps:

    (a) access to the computer's BIOS by pressing the key that appears in the on-screen instructions.

    (b) once inside the updated BIOS optical drive (CD-ROM) as first boot device. Press "F10" to save the changes and exit the BIOS. Insert the Windows operating system disc in the optical drive. Restart the computer. The message "Press any key to boot from the CD" will appear later.

    (c) press "enter". Windows will start in the Setup of the CD. After the installation has loaded, boot into the Recovery Console by pressing 'R '. Recovery Console is displayed. You will be asked to choose the type of installation that you want to connect.

    (d) type the number next to the main Windows installation. Usually this is denoted by a number 1. Press '1', then press 'Enter'. If you have a password for the computer, you type after that "Enter the administrator password" will appear. Otherwise, simply press "Enter".

    (e) to the C:\ prompt, type the following: "CHKDSK/p" (without the quotes). This checks the drive for errors and correct the errors found. Then, type "FIXBOOT" (without the quotes) at the prompt to C:\. When the prompt "Are you sure you want to write a new boot sector?" appears, press "Enter".

    (f) type "Exit" (without the quotes) at the prompt C:\. If the drive has been marked as "dirty", a review of surface can be initiated during restart. The computer restarts in Windows. Don't forget to change the boot order to hard drive.

    Note: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Satellite L450D - 13 X - black screen of death/Blue Screen of Death

    Hello everyone.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L450D - 13 X for children, and for the price it's a good laptop. Have had no problems with it until two weeks ago, when the screen froze for boys while playing a game and downloading a program on the net. Had to make a stop of force and since then, we have a BSoD on each startup. That's what we tried:

    On "Starting Windows", we are given the option to either 'Launch Startup Repair' that ends as BSoD or "Start Windows normally" who returns to the list of option "starting Windows."
    Any attempt enter 'Safe Mode' BSOD results.
    Attempt to boot an ISO of the disk recovery Windows on a USB key (we did put highlight and make promotion up) results in BSoD. Borrowing a correct installation of Windows 7 DVD and highlighting what an option cause BSoD.

    In fact, the only option that we used who threw something different has been using advanced startup options. On one of these options, we've got the Blue Screen of Death with the following information:

    Unmountable_Boot_Volume
    Disable memory the Bios Options such as cache/occultation

    I don't mind erase the hard drive and leave, there's nothing on what is essential. Very, very well, I'd appreciate a steer on it. Checked the Web for things and nothing seems to help for other options. I'm not particularly tech literate but can follow directions.

    Thanks in advance.

    If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    This looks like a fault on the HARD drive.
    Perhaps that the masterbootrecord was too bad and it is not possible to boot from the HARD drive.

    I don't know if it is possible to enter in the DOS mode but if it is possible, then you can try to use the command chkdsk/p for this problem.
    If you can not set the mode BACK, so I suppose that the formatting of HARD drive and new OS install help.
