Today, someone pulled me aside to look at their Windows XP computer. It was blue screening on boot up with an “unmountable boot volume” error, and i was asked to fix it. Naturally I could, and here is what i did:
- I put in the Windows XP disk and booted to it.
- At the “Welcome to Setup” page, I pressed “R” to get it into recovery mode.
- At the dos prompt, i ran check disk by typing “chkdsk C: /r” without the quotes and hit enter. (This will take a little bit)
- Then type “fixboot” and hit enter. Press “Y” at the prompt, hit enter, and then type “exit” and hit enter.
Thats it, your computer should run great again. Discuss this article in our forums!
