Re: Restarting Over and Over

Okay, here's what I got from the STOP code:

UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
STOP: 0X000000ED (0x82CBBDD8, 0xC0000006, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

Well, looks like it's time to reformat one of my computers (if it's even
possible). I turned on one of the computers, only to find that it's now
looping through the startup windows, including the "Would you like to start
the computer in safe mode/last known good config, etc". No matter which
option you pick, the computer, restarts, goes to the HP logo (computer
brand), and goes back to choose which start up mode to use. I've tried all of
them to no avail.

I'm presuming the only answer is to toss an XP DVD in the drive and reformat
the HD, but I was hoping there was a way to avoid that. While the computer
certainly could use a wipe, there are some things I'd like to get backed up
before I do it. Thanks!
