I found this info on this Web Site:

http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm

0x000000ED: UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
(Click to consult the online Win XP Resource Kit article.)
The kernel mode I/O subsystem attempted to mount the boot
volume and it failed. This error also might occur during
an upgrade to Win XP on systems that use higher throughput
ATA disks or controllers with incorrect cabling. In some
cases, your system might appear to work normally after you
restart.
0x000000ED: UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME {KB 297185} Win XP
(During reboot while upgrading to Win XP)
0x000000ED Error Message When Volume on IDE Drive with
Caching Enabled Is Mounted {KB 315403} Win XP (NTFS
volumes on some IDE drives)
0x000000EF: CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED
0x000000F1: SCSI_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION

>From what I understand you are using a wrong IDE cable for
the type of HD you have installed.

I Hope this helps
