Unmountable boot volume error

Lord Nikon · 2006-07-20 19:59:42

Is it possible to fix this error without a XP cd-rom? Is it possible to fix this error with a fix on a pen-drive? Thanks in advance Neuro

You will probably need the Windows XP cd to use the recovery console option and I don't think a pen drive will help.

Borrow and boot from XP CD. You could try ERD or something instead?
Press R for repair console; with XP CD.
Then:
chkdsk /p

Then:
fixboot

Thanks, I'll see if I can find a XP cd. I'm in work for the night, don't think IT will be leaving copies around.

I had this exact problem last week! You can fix it without the CD ROM.

I found out how to fix it from this thread.
