I was chatting in a Yahoo chatroom, and all of a sudden hundreds of IM windows started popping up. I had to manually shut down the computer. In retrospect I should have left well enough alone, but like an idiot I went back to the chat room to yell at the jerk who did it, and of course, not to be disrespected in his virtual chat-kingdom, he sent another thousand or so IM windows my way. Now when I try to start my computer, I get a blue screen error message: "unmountable_boot_volume" and somrthing that says "Technical info ***stop:0x000000ED(0X83B00C08, 0XC0000032, 0X00000000, 0X00000000) . . . I've tried going to the set up by hitting F12 while it's starting up, and starting in safe mode, but I get the same error. What do I do?!?

If your PC won't start up then you may have corrupted start up files. In that case give my "repair installation" instructions below a shot.
If this gets you running, then run all the adware, spyware, and antivirus programs you have to try to clean out anything that may have been installed on your pc.
Good Luck !!!
REPAIRING OR REINSTALLING WINDOWS XP
Turn your PC on and insert the Windows XP disk into the CD/DVD drive.
Reboot/restart the PC. This will cause the PC to boot from the XP disk and not the hard drive..
Allow the PC to run the boot up sequence. It will stop at a “black and white” screen and there will be an option to select a “repair” installation or a “full” installation.
NOTE:
If you simply want to repair/fix any and all corrupted and/or problem XP files select the “repair” option. This will only rewrite the XP files and will not affect any of your personal files or software on your PC.
If you want to Format the hard drive and rebuild it completely select the “full” installation option. Be aware that with this option you will “erase” all the files and software on that hard drive.
Select either the “repair” or “full” installation option and simply let the software run. Follow any onscreen prompts that may appear, especially during the “full” installation.
Hope this helps.

you can repair windows or reinstall it, if you don't have the disc borrow it from someone but use your own key.
