Re: UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME



Hi,

Check the BIOS for antivirus detection settings and disable them. They
preclude setup from writing to the mbr which it normally does during setup.
Once installed, it can be reenabled.

I am getting this error when I try to re-install Windows. I can boot to
the
existing copy of Windows just fine. I would like to format and re-install
or
install to a different hard drive (both options are available to me). The
technical information displayed is:
stop: 0x000000ed (0x822ed9f0,0xc0000010,0x00000000,0x00000000)

There have been no hardware changes made (except when I tried a different
hard drive). I am using an 80 wire IDE cable. If more information would
be
helpful, I can give a complete list of the hardware I am using.

Any help would be appreciated.
