Unmountable boot volume

[PulsarSL]

My friend's PC shut down normally one night. Next morning, it won't
start. Unmountable boot volume. 0x0000032 indicates corruption...
Right?

I tell him to boot into the recovery console and do a fixboot. It
didn't help. So I told him to do a 'dir' on c: to see if we could get
into the windows folder.

'Error during directory enumeration'.

Whoa. What happened to his PC???

Thanks

First thing to do is run the hard drive manufacturers diagnostic utility on
the drive, if it tests bad, there's your problem, if not, run chkdsk/r from
the recovery console.
