Fix UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME Blue Screen


If you encounter this BSoD Stop error in Windows XP, and if you have your Windows CD:
1. Boot your pc with the Windows XP CD, and choose Recovery Console.
2. Make sure you know which drive letter (ie: partition) your Windows resides on. Normally it's drive C:
3. Type at the command prompt C:\>chkdsk C: /r to repair bad sector & file system. Wait for check disk to complete the task.
4. Type at the prompt C:\>fixboot . It will ask "Are you sure you want to write a new boot sector?" Type Y then press Enter. Wait for the task to be completed.
5. Type Exit at the C:\> prompt and reboot your pc. It should work now.
