My window XP failed to boot and the black screen with the choises came up:
window will start normaly in 30 sec or you can start safe mode, command, last
good running window etc. Doesn't matter which key I am hitting the next widow
will be the list of Partition)1) drivers 32 ...etc. window will start for a
sec one beep and than again the choises. Safe mode wont start. Same thing if
recovery CD is in.

When I hit F10 key it gave me 2 choise: 1. normal 2. check hard drive
integrity.
I chech hard drive and that comes up the error: unmountable _boot_volume.
Tech info: STOP: 0x000000ED(0x8A054030) 0x0000006, 0x00000000, 0x00000000.
I lokked it up at support but all ask for the recovery CD and after hitting
Alt and D key to get to the command to type in Chkdsk C\r: but the computer
will not go there and I cant type anything in because the comman promt never
come up.
What is your suggestion? I ma not a tecknitian please explain in plain
English. I have some very important file on the drive but if I can't save
that I would like to reinstall the window but how if it is not starting the
recovery cd?
