Re: UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

hi

i think in this instance that it's unlike to be the cause as other issues,
such as being unable to get it to bbot via CD exist as well.
It's long past the warranty stage unfortunately otherwise i'd have gone
straigt down that route.

Thanks

Hi Carl,

Is your Computer or Hard Drive still under warranty that you are having
problems with? I would contact the manufacturer and explain the situation. I
know there is a definite problem with SATA Drivers from the manufacturers,
dropping the connection while the computer is still on, thus creating the
Unmountable Boot Volume on the reboots.

It is going to keep happening until the drivers are fixed. There is
nothing wrong with the Hard Drive itself. But I would call the manufacturer
of your Hard Drive and tell them what is happening. Unless more people speak
up about the problem, the drivers aren't going to be upgraded or the problem
fixed.

I had this problem with an Ultra ATA 100 PCA Adapter Card from Maxtor,
when it was still new with IDE Drives. And I am having this problem with
SATA Hard Drive in Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. The Hard Drive is
being disconnected from the computer, while the computer is still on,
resulting an Unmountable Boot Volume on the next boot or reboot to this
operating system.

And the partitions are being deleted. Oh I can undelete them, but the
problem keeps reoccurring.

Hi

Not sure, how can I check?

think it may be a SATA as my other Dell PC has a SATA.

Hi
I'm getting the above message when i try to start up my pC running
Windows
XP Home SP2.

I've managed to run a dell diagnostics disk and ascertain that there is
a
corrupt block on the disk.
All the advice I have read says to boot up using THe Windows XP CD and
then
run chkdsk /R
I've tried this using the Installation CD that came with the PC but to
no
avail so I'm not sure this is the correct CD.
I can find instructions for creating a suite of bootable floopy disks
for
XP
but this is no use as there isn't a floppy on the machine.
How can I create a Windows XP bootable CD?
I've configured the PC to boot up via the CD-Rom first.

Regards

Carl
