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?
Since, as you say, you are not technically minded, I recommend you do this
in the following order:
1. Take the machine to a computer-literate friend, then ask him to remove
your hard disk and connect it as a slave disk to his own machine so that you
can salvage your files. Remember to save your EMail files too, and to test
if they are useable.
2. Take the machine to a computer repair shop and get them to check it out.
They may have to replace the disk, then reload Windows and all applications.
3. Think about your backup strategy. Important files must always be kept on
not less than two independent media. A 2.5" disk in an external USB case is
a low-cost but highly effective backup medium. Keept it in a safe place well
away from your PC while not actually backing up files.
