Wolverineman Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Okay guys I have a serious problem. A couple days ago I bought a psx-usb converter and got all that installed. Its been playing great, so no more logitech bullshit. Anyway, I was playing MVP last night. After a game finished my laptop locked up. I've had this happen a few times, its when its switching from 'game mode' to 'menu mode' or whatever you want to call. Yeah it annoyed me but it wasn't anything major I didn't feel. It was late anyway so I just went to bed when I shut the thing off. I wake up this morning, load up my laptop and it won't boot up. It gets just passed the first loading screen for windows then a fatal error pops up and mentions a "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME". When I shut it off and start it again, I get a menu of things to do(Safe mode, Safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, restart from last good configuration, and start windows normally). Every one of them brings up the same error screen and all I can do from it is shut it off and start it up again. I have no idea what to do, can anyone help? I'm just glad my parents have a computer here so I can at least get on here and hopefully get some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenDammit Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 When booting up to Win XP you may get a error that reads "Unmountable Boot Volume". This is probably because your boot.ini file is messed up. So, what do you do about it, panic and try to mount your boot in your computer...... No that is probably not a good idea. You can boot to the XP cd and when you see the Welcome to setup press the letter R You will get a dos prompt Then type "chkdsk /p" without the quotes and hit enter When that is done type "fixboot" and hit enter "Y" and enter at the prompt Then type "exit" and hit enter The system will now reboot into Windows If for some reason that don't work for you, you can boot to the recovery console like above and... Type "chkdsk /r" then enter When done type "exit" and hit enter. This will take longer, but the system should boot back into Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
