I'm going crazy here! My computer won't run Xp because of
unmountable boot volume, but I cant do anything to fix it
cause NONE of the start up options work (safe mode, last
good config, etc.) Also, the computer wont boot from the
satrtup cd, and I even found an old Win98 floppy to try
to run from, but no good. It just always goes back to the
error page! I even fiddled with the cables inside, so see
if any where loose, but that looks fine too. I am willing
to admit defeat, and completely reformat the drive/wipe
every thing clean, but I can't even get that to work! Am
I ruined?! *sad face*
 
Did you follow EVERYTHING in my last post?

If you did, swap the CD-ROM and hard drive IDE (flat ribbon) cables.

If you have or can borrow another hard drive that can help determine
if the hard drive is at fault.

doubts on hardware viability (which means any attempt to "just
re-install" could be a disasterous waste of time)
