This problem has appeared since installing a new HDD
(Excelstor J360, 60Gb) Whenever my XP Professional
systems is 'Cold'booted it gets to the Windows start up
screen and then reboots itself after briefly flashing up
a Blue screen. I disabled auto-reboot in System Recovery
so I could read the message and it basically states
Unmountable Boot Volume followed by the usual unreadable
code sequence. I've tried rebooting from the install CD
and running CHKDSK /P followed by FIXDISK, but it made no
difference. I then ran CHKDSK /R but still no change. I
suspect this may have something to do with the XP IDE
driver files not being 100% compatible with the new
drive. Also, my previous drive was 40Gb so the new one is
larger, are there any special conditions setting up
larger HDD's in XP? Do I need to use a different IDE
Driver? I don't know what to do next, any suggestions
would be appreciated. Thanks
