• error UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME - XP won't start

  When you try to start a Satellite Pro A60 I get an error on a blue screen unmountable_boot_volume and PC loops without having to start. It does not start safe mode, or start from the last working Configuration.

  It runs Windows XP Profesional SP2.

  I don't want to reformat the drive and lose the data until I tried another everyhing!

  I think that I need a CD bootable with XP on it, that will allow me to access the recovery console and issue the chkdsk /r command as described in the
  http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;297185). The Toshiba Recovery CD supplied does not allow me to do.

  Question 1. How can I get, download or create a bootable XP CD to allow me to do? I'm computer literate and I to do on other PCs.

  Question2. The Toshiba Recovery CD has an option called Recovery Utility for the PC Experts only. Where can I get a manual telling me how to use it?

  Question 3. Someone at - it other ideas on how to solve the problem?

  Question 4. I can upload an image of a Microsoft boot disk, but the A60 Pro doesn't have a floppy drive. If I buy a USB attached floppy disk, will I be able to boot the PC from the attached USB floppy?

  Question 5. I think the data on the disk are probably OK, and it's just startup files that are corrupt and slaughter it boot. Is it possible to plug the drive into a single PC and read data from it?

  Thanks in advance.

  (* Note - I also submitted this question on the Satellite Pro forum, but thought that it would be useful here as well *)

  I solved the problem as follows:

  1 I fortunately had access to a reinstallation of office he's D * PC CD D * ll. It was for XP Home Edition SP1 (the Toshiba is a XP Professional SP2 running), but I decided it would be OK to use it.

  2 place the CD in the CD drive and now switch on the F12 key. This opens the screen allowing you to right_arrow anywhere on the CD player, which tells the laptop to boot from the CD this_time_only.

  3 a message appears "to boot from the CD, press any key now...". "If you do not press a button fast enough, he decided that you want to boot from the hard drive...

  4 XP boot CD. After some time (one minute?) you get a blue screen with the system above Recovery Console. Type r and press enter - it takes you in REPAIR mode.

  5 after some time (1-2 minutes?) the c: > prompt. It's the first bit of good news: he can see the C drive!

  Press and 6 type chkdsk/r come. It's the CHECK_DISK command, with the REPAIR option. Have patience - it took about 60-70 minutes to complete, during which the full report % showed inconsistent numbers - 30% > 50 > 60% > 62% > 50% > 60%... etc. When it finishes it reported that he had found errors and fixed them.

  7 remove the CD and boot normally. The laptoop, boots and no data has been lost.

  Why suppliers such as Toshiba do not provide a restore CD that allows him to do? The only way to repair it with the Toshiba provided that CD is to re - install the XP software that formats the drive and lose all data.

  If you can't beg, borrow or steal either a good, complete the CD of Microsoft XP Installation or a supplier, one (like D * ll) that allows you to do this, you can apparently make a bootable CD by following the instructions in the "Bart way to create bootable CD-ROMs" at http://nu2.nu/bootcd/#whatis. I have not tried.

• Unmountable_boot_volume on A10 - where can I find a recovery cd?

  All of a sudden I had a startup error - Unmountable_boot_volume and the computer will not start even with safe mode. I tried with recovery of Microsoft window XP and it seems that the hard drive is very "damaged", it wont even make a directory, listing and does not not chkdsk/r

  To compound the problem, I can find is no longer the recovery disk and the Windows XP disc. I wonder if anyone can help? where can I find a recovery CD and version of window XP OEM disc? The computer comes with window XP OEM license.

  Hi Robert,.

  You can usually get copies of replacement of the CD recovery of any Toshiba authorized Service partner who will ensure that you get the correct version for your particular laptop model.

  You can find a list of service partners available on the Toshiba web site.

• Error code 1000-0146: Start "DST Short test": failure

  Hello

  As of today, I am unable to boot Windows 7. Just after the Windows flag logo, I get a BSOD with error: unmountable_boot_volume. When I run diagnostics I get the error mentioned in the title.

  I tried several things, including the repair of Windows 7, diskpart, chkdsk and sfc scannow in the cd installation cmd prompt and change the BIOS settings. Unfortunately, none of these things worked.

  To elaborate a little bit on the things I've tried: I tried to repair Windows from the installation cd as well as the 'normal' (one of the two options, that you can get when something going wrong and you reinstall your system). In the first case the system shows a blue background hanging and in this case, I get a black background of hanging. The diskpart command displays only the first three lines, i.e. it does not show DISKPART > allows to provide other commands. The chkdsk does nothing and reports that the drive is write-protected. The EFC control signals that the repair is ongoing (no doubt because the installation disk is running) and ask you to restart your PC (which doesn't help). I also played around with a few startup settings, including the priorities of boot.

  I strongly suspect that the drive is failing and I need to recover the data and replace the drive. However, I would like to be sure before I undertake these actions 100%. I hope someone can help out me... Thank you!

  Error 0146 indicates a failing or hard drive or a disk bad sector.   Basically, this means that your hard drive needs to be replaced.

• Satellite A300-1J1 - how to use HARD drive recovery files to install Vista again

  I've read the threads that already exist, until anyone there sprang key of course, however I don't see the answers to my questions, so I hope someone can help.

  Basically my A300 has been regularly overheating and turning off, and after a recent instance of this, I left it disassembled and cleaned the radiator and the surround carefully.

  Unfortunately, reassembly, it became clear that Windows would not start, probably due to some problem caused by the most recent power cut or maybe even within my very careful disassembly?

  In any case, Vista does not start, in all modes, either standard, in safe mode or in repair mode. As standard, it screens with a message of error UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME blue etc.

  Mode of repair, windows bar logo and green rises, but then it just black screens and no more. Slight variation only I had here, it's that sometimes a white cursor rises, but still a black screen. I left the machine 30 minutes where there was a simple delay, but not... nothing happens, it just hangs.

  I have no CD of restoration, because I did not create one, but I was able to access all the files via the platform of Knoppix, and everything seems in order, so important HARD drive corruption seems unlikely.

  I see records to get Toshiba HDD and also Windows RE, so my question to you people is as follows; Is it possible that I can use these files that are still in tact to get Vista without buying a disc for £ 30 from Toshiba?

  My concern is, I don't see why the supposed recovery integrated does not work given that the associated files still seem present and intact on the disk, and I'm reluctant to lose 30 pounds on something, if it is not guaranteed to work in all cases.

  What would you recommend I do?
  My files are backed up and whatever is left is not important... I just want to restore my Vista more quickly, more simple, the cheapest possible.

  Hey,.

  Unfortunately I think that there is nothing you can do because the files are unnecessary if disk HARD recovery doesn't work because you must be able to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu.

  I agree with you, it's not good recovery disc HARD Toshiba doesn't work for you, but you must also understand s your fault if you didn't create the recovery disk as mentioned in the user manual. ;)

  So either buy you a new recovery disk or you are using a Microsoft Windows disk to reinstall Windows. All drivers and tools that you can download on the page of Toshiba.

• blue screen unmountable_boot_volume error 0X000000ED (0X86B48738, 0XC000009C, 0x00000000, 0x00000000

  My Toshiba M35X laptop, Windows XP, works great. When I turned on it again once I received the following message:

  UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

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

  Check that any hardware software is properly installed.  If this is a new installation, ask that your hardware to the software manufacturer for any windows updatesyou might need.

  If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software.  Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading.  If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Safe mode.

  Technical information:

  Stop: OX 0000000ED (0X86B48738, 0XC 000009 C, 0x00000000, 0x00000000

  I've tried everything.  Safe mode or one of the other modes do not work, or "last known configuration.

  None of the books on the computer repair tell me how to solve this problem.

  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.

• 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.

  Same answer as before:

  Repeat the disc. Check the methods in my answer above. If you do not have a Windows DVD
  try to borrow a friends to see if it will start - try any XP, Vista, Win7, just to see if the drive
  detect and boot from it. If Vista you can use it as a repair disc that are not copies
