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.

Your Master Boot Record is damaged, or your bios is not set correctly to recognise the harddrive. Google the problem and links will show up to troubleshoot both. Good Luck

the concern lies interior the hard drive, usually on the part of the pc, 2 mounting screws carry it in place, as quickly as taken out ,take out the stress, push it back in attempting to reset the stress, you apart from mght can attempt restart press f 8 to get to the diagnostic show screen scroll right down to reboot and click it, those may well be the a number of google seek solutions

Get the setup CD, put it in the CD player, reboot and start all over again. It is the only way.
