Blue Screen on boot

[JWooden271]

I am currently having trouble botting Windows XP Home
Edition. The computer promptly shows a Blue Screen,
claiming that I have an "unmountable boot
volume" (0x000000ed).

I have tried using Recovery Console, as suggested by the
Microsoft KB. However, Recovery Console is utterly useless
because it comes up with a blue screen (ntfs.sys).

I had a linux bootdisk near me, so I booted with it and
was able to gain access to the ntfs partition. However, I
was only able to gain read-only access, which is useless
for trying to fix this problem.

Any advice that you may have would be most welcome.

Thanks

Hi, why don´t you check your hard disk?. I bet that´s it!. set your hard disk: "slave" in another computer, then chkdsk /r.

That might work, if I had a second computer available.
However I don't, so any other suggestions?

First of all, why don?t you try chkdsk to see if there is a problem
with the drive itself. The other possibility is going to the BIOS
settings, see if you are mounting from the correct drive.

Also a quick search on google revealed that your are not the first
person to have the ?blue screen of death? in Windows XP.

Hope this helps,
