Hello and welcome. If you encounter blue screen with “unmountable boot volume” error on your windows XP pc, fear no more! I have found a way to cure it. Although it is not 100% success, but it still the best shot you got. There are two way to remedy it.
The first way is require more technical knowledge on pc hardware and software. The first thing you should do is start your pc on go into bios. Usually the key is delete, F1 or F2 button. Load default setting from there, save and try restarting the pc. If it still unsuccessful, you have to take out the bad hard disk and installed it on another pc as a secondary drive. Start the pc. Usually the bad hard disk will be E: drive depending on the working pc configuration. Try double clicking the E drive to check whether the data can still be read. If error like “Do you want to format?” popup, choose no. From the start menu, click run, put in cmd. A command prompt will appear. Type “chkdsk e: /f” without the quote. If the command asks you to run the check disk on next restart, choose type “y”. After running check disk, try to check the drive again whether is readable. If not, repeat chkdsk command again but using the switches /R like this “chkdsk e: /r”. This will take some time so you can have a tea break. This command will check whether bad sector are exist on your hard disk. While running the command, if you see words like “bad cluster”, it is a good choice if you buy a new hard disk. After it complete, put back the bad hard disk to its original pc and try to boot it up. Voila, the pc is up and running as normal again. For hard disks that have found bad sector in it, I highly suggest to clone it to another good hard disk to make sure blue screen error will not happen again.
The second way to cure it is by using the recover console that is built in any Windows XP cd. Insert the cd on your cd drive and boot it. You have to change the boot setting bios. After that, press R to enter recovery console mode. It like a dos prompt environment. Run the command “chkdsk /r” and after it completed, restart the pc. If still not successful, enter recovery console again and do the command “fixboot”. It will definitely solve the problem.
Both this method is surely on my own experience. If you have a better solution, feel free to leave a comment below. I hope this article will help many people to overcome this blue screen error “unmountable_boot_volume”.
