    Note: This is on my girlfriends mothers desktop,not the notebook listed in my signature.

    They were on it yesterday, it ran fine, they shut it down and when they rebooted it it shows "UNMOUNTABLE BOOT_VOLUME" as the reason it bluescreened, wont open in safe mode or anything. Any ideas on how to fix this one guys? I checked to make sure every cord was in all the way and not loose, only thing i could think of.

    had that just last weekend at a friends pc.

    booted with xp cd, went to commandline (repair console), there made chkdsk with i think /f and /r, then fixboot and fixmbr, and then it worked again.

    i don't get why xp is able to mess it's own start items up. why can't it just let them be? it's not as if they change each time :)

    had this several times on different xp machines. not yet any time on vista, though.
