XP Home Edition Boot Disks - WinXP_EN_HOM_BF.EXE

[Warren]

Hi,

I have XP Home Edition and am getting a blue screen on
start up that states

UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_DISK

I have been told that there is a program called
WinXP_EN_HOM_BF.EXE which might be able to help me. I
have located this at this URL:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?
displaylang=en&FamilyID=E8FE6868-6E4F-471C-B455-
BD5AFEE126D8

I have downloaded and created the disks four times. Each
time I try to use them, I get to the fourth disk and get a
message DMIO.SYS CORRUPTED.

Help.

Thanks.

Warren

Warren;
Power off, open the case and reseat the hard drive IDE ribbon cable at
both ends.
If that fails:

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