Re: SBS blue screen

What type of drives are inthe server (IDE, SCSI, SATA)...

"STOP 0x000000ED UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" Error Message When You Restart
Your Computer or Upgrade to Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q297185&;

I'm thinking this is a hardware problem.

Disabling automatic restart on error worked a treat and I could read the
stop error:

Unmountable_Boot_Volume

Stop error:
(0X8A2D4428, 0XC0000006, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

Is this likely to be a filesystem corruption issue or failing hardware?
What are the chances of recovering data and how would I go about doing so?

Thanks for all your help guy's :o)

Thank you so much for your replies!

The BSOD is too quick to read anything from, SBS is loading away and then
there is a blue screen that flashes accross the screen but the system
re-boots too quickly to read any of the codes.

There as been no changes to the system, no new hardware or software, so I
am well stumped as to why this has happened.

I dont mind having to re-install, well i do but a whole lot less than
loosing everything so I am wondering how to best approach this, I do have
a number of system backups but would like to be able to re-install non
destructively so all the current data remains, is this possible? Can a
fresh copy be installed over the top of the current installation
replacing system files but not user data. I do this occasionally with
client systems and it would be so handy right at this moment!

Many thanks

Hi Billy:

First, are there any new devices in or on the server. USB keys, new
anything that you can take off/out.

Second, does the blue screen give you any codes? It is possible that if
you/we lookup the code we may be better able to help.

Usually these are of the type stop_error_name: Numbers (parameter1, 2,
3, 4)

Also sometimes helpful are the last programs loaded, as shown at the
bottem of the page.

Hi Ppl,

I so hope someone has a clue about this! I am running SBS 2003 but
today it crashed and now will not boot, blue screens on every attempt.
Last knowng good config fails as does safe mode, what is the proceedure
with something like this? I assume it will invlove re-building but I
have a lot of data that is needed (files in shared directory, exchange
emails, public folders and calendar), RAID 0 configuration, any ideas
will be MOST appreciated!


Thanks
