• Not mountable boot volume, DVD does not work

  I got the error unmountable boot volume and when I try to boot from my install dvd nothing comes. I have a HP Pavilion Dv6000. My only startup options are the normal startup (which leads to the BSoD) and the Startup Repair, which gives me just a black screen with the cursor. What is going on?

  Hello

  1. do you get an error with this error code?

  Method 1.
  First of all I would ask you to put the first boot device to the CD - DVD drive. This change is made in the BIOS. You may need to contact the manufacturer of your BIOS to change these settings.

  Important note: changes to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) 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.
   
  Note:
  If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings.

  Method 2.
  You can try the following steps (skip these steps if you've already tried).
  Menu of boot options advanced access by pressing the F8 key when the computer is restarted > on the Advanced Boot Options screen > select repair your computer option.
  Now, select command prompt recovery tool and run the disk check to repair bad sectors on the hard disk.
  a. at the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and then press ENTER.
  b.Now, type chkdsk/r, and then press ENTER.

  Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

  You can also try to restore the environment of system recovery.

  I hope this helps.

• FIX: "no mountable boot Volume' on Packard - Bell EasyNote A8

  Hello:

  I want that my recent experience would be helpful to my fellow users.

  My Packard - Bell EasyNote A8, running Windows XP Home, was to have a "Blue screen of death" problem very frustrating showing "One-Mountable boot Volume," at the start of the system, just after loading Windows XP logo, after a recent system total restore factory & all subsequent updates have been made. An extensive internet search was not much help. Physical damage to several sectors on the hard disk are likely, after all, there @ and 10,000 POH

  Solution:

  1. let regenerator HD program work for about 6 weeks continuously. I don't know how this has helped, it detected 100 many bad/damaged areas and repaired only 3. Had to manually stop because he was taking forever. He got stuck on 47118Mb, with @ 3Gb more to go.

  2 restart the computer. Press the magic F11 button.

  3. system restore started. It is automatically detected and repaired the damaged partition. Everything is automatic. Just sit back & relax & follow the prompts on the screen.

  4. my Packard - Bell EasyNote A8 now return works perfectly as it was before the problem started. All updates completed. No "blue screen of death" until now.

• Satellite A500-19 q: Win 7 does not-UNMOUNTABLE BOOT VOLUME

  HY everybody,

  I work for 2 months with my new race A500-19 q Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
  Last night the system was regularly interrupted with the command "shutdown" of windows.
  Today, the machine does not load win 7 in all.

  If I let the work load, the system reached the blue screen with "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME".
  If I try to restore the system with the recovery dvd made some time ago by the Toshiba utility him begins to load information, but after some research on hard drive, he stops with black screen and the cursor arrow, but nothing else.

  I downloaded and burt disk repair Windows 7 64 bit, but as already sad, starting the system of loading but it does not get to the end.
  So it seems impossible to carry out the command "chkdsk /f.

  What should I do finally?

  Hello

  The cursor blinking in the upper left corner means that something might be wrong with the HARD drive or partition on the HARD drive.
  I had this problem a few years ago on my laptop and in my case that the HARD drive is dead, it was a head crash.

  In any case, I think you should check if the HARD drive can be formatted using another disc
  You can try a Linux live CD or something like that

• boot volume not mountable on presario cq56 - 219wm laptop

  can someone help me please... I have no drives for this laptop.  I have no idea how solve this thing, it was working fine before bed and now it isn't. I managed to control a number of things by reading this forum. I got a code that says "unmountable boot volume" I did a hard reboot as it said and that did nothing. I tried repairing the system when she appeared, did nothing. I tried to do safe mode, but I can't tell if it of in there or not. After loads of windows logo I get a blue corrugated (a bit like a curtian blowing in the Breeze) of the screen and the mouse shows but nothing else, start no button, no icon of shortcut... nothing. I've had a few years but it has barely been used and when it is used its especially for printing photos from my camera. HELP HELP HELP PLEASE!

  Hello

  The error code will be a Smart failure or disk Self Test - in both cases, this would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This is also consistent with startup error.

  If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disk replaced - you can check the status of your warranty here.

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, let me know.

  Kind regards

• Installation of MacOS Sierra is not possible (no boot volume)

  Hello everyone

  I have an iMac with the following characteristics:

  

  and I'm trying to install the new Sierra of MacOS. But everytime I open the installation program, it tells me that I can't use the partition called 'Mac OS X', which is my main Mac partition on my drive of fusion, for the installation of Sierra because it cannot be used as a boot volume. Of course, it's completely absurd because I started 'Mac OS X' volume whenever I boot my Mac!

  This screenshot shows the installer and the associated message:

  

  Could someone help me please? I really want to do a clean install of all and that spend hours to restore my previous settings! Please...?

  Best regards

  Martin

  Hi mpauli,

  I see that the Sierra of macOS Installer gives you a message saying "this disk cannot be used to start your computer." In order to get this problem solved, I suggest you follow through the troubleshooting steps in the link below.

  Setup notes "OS X can not be installed on your computer" or "this disc cannot be used to start your computer.

  See you soon.

• CHK DSK/r & CHK DSK/p does not solve blue screen UNMOUNTABLE BOOT VOLUME... any suggestions?

  Hi, need help please. After an update of windows, there was a couple of error message on my computer, and then one day, he came with a blue screen at the beginning by saying "UNMOUNTABLE BOOT VOLUME". OK, I googled and he said everywhere to have an installation CD (which I have) and then perform the CHK DSK/r, CHK DSK/p or CHK DSK/r/p that I did all 3. Then I typed in FIXBOOT c:... ok, well... seemed so I typed in the output. Blue screen again! He tried again and again without success. I would NOT be this format... we have a lot of customer files on this computer... ANYTHING else out there to try? I can't find any other information. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you...!

  Hello - there was only 1 partition, and I think I know what it was. It was see the external hard drive - which I NOT formatted and works very well - and now that I have disconnected, he says "hard drive not found '. Now, I can not format the main computer! Should I rehook it? I just don't want this external hard drive to be formatted. How to format my computer (since CHK DSK does not work) with the CD? I just get the message 'cannot see the hard drive. Thanks for your help.

  N ° not re - hang. In fact, you must disconnect all devices from the computer except for your keyboard and your mouse. This includes, but is not limited to, your printer, card readers or other devices other than your cd rom of course media.

  The error you receive is probably due to your SATA controller driver is not being installed. Restart the computer and enter the bios. See if you can find the option to disable the AHCI or RAID and IDE SATA (SATA/PATA) emulation mode. Windows should detect your hard drive.

  Finally, if you are unable to find the option to turn off the AHCI/RAID mode, provide me the full brand and the model number of your computer.

• R61 R & R does not start after the "unmountable boot volume" error

  Hi all

  New user, first post - after problem, of course.

  I have a Thinkpad R61 with Windows XP on it.  (SP2 or SP3, not sure).  Worked without problem for years, and then the other day I got the dreaded "unmountable boot volume" error and it would not start.

  No problem - I have reboot, hit the ThinkVantage button, then press F11 to use the R & R hidden on a separate hard disk partition... I get the black screen with progress bar big, okay, then a blue screen... then nothing.  Hang up and sits there.  I've told about 5 times now.

  No problem! -J' was smart enough to make a CD R & R defined earlier.  The main R & R disc in the CD drive, turn on the machine, the ThinkPad, F12 button this time choose to boot from the CD... much activity follows and once more, I get the black screen with progress bar big.  It takes a lot more time then I get the blue screen - BUT - he took the extra step to display the "ThinkVantage Rescue & Recovery 4" with the image of lifejacket.

  Excellent, I thing - but it crashes then it.  He's here.  No disk activity.  No key won't do anything.

  I can't find any thread here or on any other forum with this particular issue.

  Am I fubar?  Or is there something else I can do?

  Thanks to a bouquet.

  Hi jim, welcome to the forums.

  Is the drive recognized in the BIOS, there was an entry in the startup list against HDD0?

  No matter what it projected in BIOS / boot list or not, the first thing I would do is to reinstall the hard drive and see if that helps, maybe with the time he lost contact to the Jack from the motherboard. If you are unsure how to do this you can find on the R61 movie site.

  The next thing I would do is run a check on a cd bootable hard drive Diagnostics, these can be downloaded from websites of all manufacturers drive HARD for example Hitachi Drive Fitness Test.  Maybe it's that the reader simply went bad after all these years of work.

  Let us know how you go

• Satellite Pro L10 - Unmountable Boot Volume

  My Satellite Pro L10 loops in the boot process. After the Windows XP splash screen, the following error messages appears:... Unmountable boot volume... Technical information: Stop: 0x000000ED...

  I know that is nothing exceptional and do a full restore would solve the problem. But I don't want to lose the data (which are of course not saved). I tried a Windows XP disk, but it does not start from the cd/dvd drive by pressing F12 or <0>and change the boot order...

  Can anyone help please?

  Hello

  Hmm, the volume not mountable startup error message appears especially if the HARD drive may not be recognized during initialization. Why? Well, maybe the HARD drive failures or the master boot record is defective!

  If you don t want to recover the laptop, you can try to boot from the XP CD (C press immediately after switching on the laptop) and to start the repair console.

  In the repair console, you can use the command chkdsk/p and after that, you could fix the disk main boot using the fixboot command or / and fixmbr.

  If this does not help, the new installation of the OS is that you as a last resort.

  PS: If you want to save the data you can try to remove the HARD drive and try to connect it via external USB HDD controller to another computer.

• Satellite A100: Windows won't start no-Unmountable Boot Volume

  My son has a Satellite A100 under Windows XP SP3. Windows is not going beyond the Windows logo screen and ends with a Unmoutable Boot Volume + message.

  After what has happened, the status of the disk in the BIOS password is + HDD password frozen +. Note that the HARD drive does not have a user defined password.

  What is happening here and how is it fixed?

  Can you start laptop in safe mode with F8?
  The HARD drive password is strange to me.

  In this situation what you can try is to start the repair console in the Windows XP installation disc and try to fix it. Problem is that Toshiba computers laptops come with recovery discs only.
  Try to get the installation of Microsoft WXP disc and try with this repair option.

• Qosmio G20 - Unmountable Boot Volume

  Hi all

  My G20 starts, I get the standard screen of Windows XP, then a vile blue screen of death, then a message "unmountable boot volume" still more hideous. The systems recovery disc is not an option because he wants to clean up the entire disk.

  Is there a software I can burn it to a cd, which will allow me to start and run a type scandisk/chkdsk program to try to repair the drive? I have fond memories of the Norton Utilities programs type which unfortunately seems to have disappeared. Otherwise, I assume that the reader must go out, be "caddied" and operated in my desktop pc, where I can download repairers adapted on the net?

  Am I missing the point with the drive to "recover", IE there facilities to try to recover the data on the disk, rather than rinse?

  Thank you
  Dude

  Hi mate,

  There is not much to say, I have the solution for you: UBCD4Win (www.ubcd4win.com)

  It s simply a CD image of gorgeus with a Windows XP as the basis, so download, burn, and secure your data or repair your file system.
  I saved a lot many damaging HDD´s, data and everything I know with this really useful tool.

  Good luck buddy

• Satellite A100-259 WinXP - BlueScreen Unmoutable Boot-Volume

  For computer laptop brother does not start in any mode etc. (safe), blue screen flashes up a quick "Unmountable Boot Volume"message before disappearing.

  There is no option to "Repair" in the advanced options that hit the F8 key at startup.
  The only thing it says that there is a Toshiba cd "Recovery", - I migrated to a Mac but thought long ago you at least got the o/s on cd with Windows?

  If as I fear the recovery disk allows you to create a "Bootable" cd then I know that he did not make this option.

  All the advice - MUCH APPRECIATED, as I had very little hair before that.

  See you soon

  If I can borrow another one of these laptops to a family member, I'd be able to create a "bootable" from the recovery disk cd, that my brother has on their laptop - this "recovery" cd would work on his machine?
  ANY help appreciated
  See you soon

• HP DV7-7338ea Windows 8 Unmountable Boot Volume BSOD

  The product concerned here is a HP DV7-7338ea with Windows 8 operating system. I used it for just under 11 months and bought with Windows 8 is installed.

  Description of the problem:

  I recently installed a new sound update for my laptop. I was asked to reboot and once that happened, I got a BSOD with error message: unmountable boot volume. When this happens, it restarts and goes into mood "automatic repair of preparation", after which the screen goes black and shows of slider windows and then what is it. I find myself with no options or anything. I tried pressing F11 at startup upward, then he said "Please wait" and goes back to the same black screen. I left on during more than an hour, but it just stays there until my man turns off the warm-ups (this has never happened before). I have not installed recently something back outside of the HP update. Please help because I don't know what to do now. I didn't save my files again, and they are too important to me to lose.  Thank you

  Update:

  I ran a check of the system, and it says that the DST of short Hard Drive failed. Does that mean I lost my files? The laptop was working fine until this last update HP who may have damaged my hard drive.

  A DST short drive hard failure means that, either your hard drive is faulty or were not together.

  If you are still under warranty, contact your retailer or HP local store and get a replacement hard drive that you can change yourself or have it sent service.

  If you have a competent friend IT, you may be able to recover some data on the computer.

  You can try to remove the hard drive of your computer and its connection to his own.

  Please let me know how it works.
