Cant use recovery console -Part 2

[Guest]

Thankyou Galen and Will for your reply.I tried your suggestions but didnt
have any luck.I did try a suggestion from another post when I did a search
for "unmountable boot volume" in the Hardware News Group. George pointed me
to a link that suggested that I take the suspect harddrive out and swap it
with one on a good system.Well I exchanged the harddrive into a system
exactly the same and what happened was at least this time it tried to
boot.But I received a message at the bottom telling me to boot from disk.So I
did this and ran chkdsk /r and after that the harddrive booted no problem,the
system up and running.Well now I switched the drive back into the old system
and it wont boot and I cant run the recovery console after entering "1'', it
just does nothing.Does this mean there's something wrong with the MB or some
other thing in the bad system??As a note I also tried to run a hard drive
diagnostic tool -PowerMax- but it exited right away stating "Exiting due to
SIGFPE floating point exception!!! Whatever that means!!! Any advice is
greatly apprieciated again.Thankyou for your time and patience.

HI there
Did you try , Set your BIOS to default settings.
I have had that happen and for saome reason the BIOS got messed up, but
cured it for me.
Hope this helps.
