UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

[Guest]

Yesterday my brothers old hd crashe so we bought a new one, plugged it in
and installed windows on it. No problems so far windows started up fine and I
logged into the microsoft update site, then I had to install some sort of
updates to be able to run the site. I did that and after that I had to reboot
the computer. But when windows started up again I got this evil Bluescreen of
death :

UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

***Stop 0x000000ED (0X81F4E900,0XC00014F,0X00000000,0X00000000)


Microsoft has some sort of fix for this, but then I have to download a file
from the update page, that I need to install a program to use and then
reboot, and after that I can't get past this problem, so I basically can't
download the file.

Anyone got a smart way to fix this?

What type of cable are you using on the hard drive...40-wire or 80-wire?
With modern hard drives, you need to use a 40-pin, 80-wire IDE cable.

Hi Drumedor,

Is the Hard Drive installed larger than the one that was replaced? Does
the Computer BIOS see the entire Hard Drive?
