Using XP. Got this error for the first time today. Unfortunately i didn't find the original copy... Now the system is randomly restarting and won't boot. Best i can do is enter the BIOS.

Someone already faced this problem? Any help would be much aprecciated. BTW: Tried Hiren's Boot CD, and the PC didn't boot either.

Thanks in advance!:toast:
 
Unmountable boot volume usually means a bad hard drive. Booting the XP CD and running chkdsk will sometime bring the computer back to life for a while, but eventually the drive will die.
 
Trying to run Hiren's Boot CD again, made a mistake when extracting the files. I'll report later...

Damn, bad Sunday. Old PC is OLD.
 
Corrected the extraction, burned another DVD.

Everything fine so far. Hiren's BootCD 15.2 recommended, BTW. Chkdsk will take several minutes to fix everything, tho.
