    I have a lenovo Z61m, running Windows XP Professional. Whenever I start it up, an error message saying "unmountable boot volume". If I go to the ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery, it just freezes at the R&R page and I can't do anything. I've read that you need to reinstall the OS using the CD, but lenovo don't supply the Windows XP CD. Does anyone know how to fix it???
    Many thanks in advance.

    They don't supply XP CDs, but will sell you a set of recovery discs. I take it you did not make the recovery CDs?
