|I have read multiple posts here on "Unmountable Boot Volume" problems, but

| discussions about this. I'm working on an 8-year-old Dell with Windows Me.
| I've tried the XP suggestions for this problem to no avail. I cannot boot
| from the cd drive so I cannot run the OS cd. I can boot to A drive, but
| cannot change to the C, D, or E drives from the A: prompt. I can click on
| the three safe mode options, but the list (script??) stops at " . . . .
| partition2\windows\system32\drivers\agp440.sys" and then goes back to the
| blue "Unmountable Boot Volume" screen. Since I cannot get into Safe Mode, I
| cannot perform any of the suggestions displayed on the blue screen. My son's
| honeymoon pictures are on the hard drive and I would really like to salvage
| them for him. ALL HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
