Unmountable Boot Volume error message

Hello.

Monday, I bought Norton Internet Security 2007 and tried to install it. I was reading a word document while I was installing it. I received an error message and was prompted to restart Windows XP.

When I tried to reboot Windows XP. I received a message telling me an error that caused Windows stop. The message asked me to choose between:

1. safe mode

2 safe mode with command prompt

3. last know good configuration

4. start windows normally.

I chose "start windows normally".

MS Windows XP started normally for a few seconds then instead of my normally log on page, I got a blue screen with this message:

"A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

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

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Clear options memory BIOS such as caching and shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press f8 to select the startup options, and then select Safe mode.

Technical information:

STOP: 0X00000ED (0X80E (1E30, 0XC000031, 0 X 000000000) "")

And then my computer stop, then restart in the same order.

IT keep repeating the sequence: ect ect error message security mode and then blue screen, shut down and restart. Again and mo matter which mode to choose. I went online looking for what is happening with my laptop (from a ready computer) and I still have the problem. I was told that I need to uninstall the software that caused the problem. My question is have I can uninstall the software when I can't reach journal window now and so the control panel?

I'm at my wits end. Help, please.

Hello

I don t know why but it seems that your master boot sector damage
You can try to access the repair console (boot from the original CD of windows, and then press R)
Then try using this command: chkdsk/p
This command should fix some sectors on the HARD disk. Maybe it helps.

If not then you have to format the whole HARD drive and reinstall the new OS!

  • BSoD Unmountable Boot Volume error message

    This morning my laptop was running slowly and I executed a forced shutdown. When you turn on the computer, I kept getting a blue screen with the error message "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME". All the options I tried met the same fate. I have the recovery disk and tried to use it to fix the system. However, after stopping race/spinning drive, only a black screen remained and remained it up to with no progress for more than 3 minutes more. I don't remember what is the code, but I'll take a look later, when I try again with the recovery disc to attempt to repair the system. I have looked through all the answers to previous questions to the BSoD Unmountable Boot Volume error and see if it is of help.

    Are there suggestions more with this issue? I try to keep spending as cheap as possible. Thank you.

  • 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.

    Hello

    I agree with Guybrush. The error seems to be related to the boot file system is defective and new resettlement could help.

    As we have already mentioned, the Toshiba Recovery CD could be controlled using the adresse_web above.
    If you are owner of an old series of laptop then the recovery CD could be ordered in the local ASP.

    But generally, you can use a Microsoft operating system CD too.
    You could install windows using this CD and all Toshiba drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

  • 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.

  • 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.

I followed the information and made a cd using the given sites. Fix the MBR to be not hard drive cd and put the cd in. He ran until the "press any key to boot from CD' here but at this time, none of the keys on the keyboard make an impression and came once again, the message"press any key...

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.

    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.

  • E1505 disk hard blue screen Unmountable Boot Volume

    Hello Dell Community.

    I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop and while I turned on my laptop yesterday, I received this error went to blue screen during the loading of the Windows logo screen. I restarted and it told me that Windows did not start successfully, so it gave me options of how to start as: start Windows normally or in Safe Mode. Regardless of what I chose, the same thing would happen, the blue screen appears with the error reading "Unmountable Boot Volume". So I ran a diagonistic test on my whole computer and everything going on, but the hard drive. The disk error message hard read was:

    Error code: 0F00:0244

    MSG block: error impossible to correct data or media is write protected

    I don't know what to do with my computer, because I can't go any further than the Windows XP loading screen, because it stops just loading and the blue screen appears. So I can't uninstall a program or data from my computer.

    Help will be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

  • 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
