    Hi,

    Recently my Sony Vaio VGN-CR220E laptop stopped booting past the "loading windows" screen (running Vista Home Prem.) and a blue screen comes up saying Unmountable_Boot_Volume. I have my files backed up, but when I reformatted and did a clean install of Vista, the system ran for about 3 days until I ran into the same problem again. The computer just crashed and is showing the unmountable_boot_volume screen again. Any suggestions on how I should go about fixing it this time? Could this just be a hardware issue? Thanks for your help guys.

    -Charlie

    In the last week or so have you installed any system utlity software? This would things like backup software, parition managers, boot managers, antivirus and antimalware?

    Do you get the same message even if you hit F8 at boot and go into the recovery console (Windows PE Environment) or try "Last Known Good Configuration"?
