My laptop recently crashed and now will not reboot in any mode (safe, etc.).
In discussion with Toshiba support, they suggested I allow it to come up and
display the error code. Specifically it's

Unmountable_Boot_Volume
Stop: 0x000000ED (0x82F91900,0xC0000006, 0x00000000,0x00000000)

Now, I'm not naive enough to think this is salvageable. I'm already about to
purchase a new laptop. What I'm wondering is if there's any way this can be
made to boot - say from floppy - so that I can copy files off to a memory
stick. I can get into the bios and have it boot from floppy. I just don't
know if that's even feasible or if I should just wave goodbye to this
machine.
 
Power off
Laptop/Portables:... simply remove and reinsert the hard drive.
If that fails:

Otherwise go to the website of the hard drive manufacturer and download
their hard drive diagnostics.

Do you have a hard drive overlay such as Max Blast?
Windows XP sometimes has issues with overlay software.
You may need to perform a Clean Installation without their overlay software
which is not needed anyway.
