Unmountable Boot Volume, Can't Run Recovery Console

[george]

At start up, I got the "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" blue
screen. The message was
STOP OXOOOOOOED (0X8131DBD8, 0XC0000009A, 0X00000000,
0X00000000)

So, I booted from my Windows XP (Home) CD, and when I got
to the Windows Set Up screen and typed "R" I got another
blue screen referring to ntfs.sys. The message was
STOP 0X00000024 (0X001902FA, 0XF96E08FC, 0XF96E05FC,
0XF8EC084F)

This happens almost every time. A few times I got some
message about a default keyboard before going to ntfs.sys
blue screen after I typed "R", and once I actually got to
type CHKDSK /P before the blue screen.

Can anyone offer advice about how to get the recovery
console running. I have some documents on the computer
that I will need soon, and any help would be much
appreciated.

George, I would remove everything but the basic hardware.

Does that mean I lose my documents, too

George, no you don't have to lose your documents. From what you
described, you are having a problem booting with
the WinXP CD and working with the Recovery Console. If you are getting
blue screens it could be hardware related so
remove any device ( Printer, External Drives, Modem etc that you could
do without until you get the system up and
running again. You could also try a Repair Install with the WinXP CD.
