    Unmountable_boot_volume

    Im having a problem with this one pc....

    I really dont want to format unless I absolutely have to.

    Anyway none of the safe more, last known good settings, regular work.

    In safe mode the files start scrolling as the safe mode option starts loads a bunch of them and hangs and see the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death)

    Regular and last known good settings get up to the point where the windows logo loads up, then crashes and hits the BSOD.

    Ive tried going through the windows XP CD i386 folder and typing winnt, which then brings me to the windows setup however it tells me there is insufficent disk space.

    All I have is this tiny little Windows 98 floppy boot disk (which is how I acessed the CD-ROM drive) wondering if anyone knows where I can download a XP boot disk or repair disk, so that I may run SCANDISK or something like that...

    Well I really hope someone could fill me in as to what I should do, I would appreciate it :]

    if you boot to the XP cd, and hit 'R' when prompted, it should bring you to the recovery console...

    from there you can run chkdsk /f

    if that doesn't work, you can always do a 'repair' installation.

    try this xp custom boot disk that fits on one (1) normal floppy..specially designed to access i386 and install via winnt.exe...it has smartdrive and better memory/driver managers than your 98 floppy...it might help. it has scandisk and delpart.exe for hard to get rid of NTFS partitions.....

    ...Or not.

    You're nearly 5 years late for you spam.

    Do you not realise everyone here will torrent your shitty app anyway, if they needed it.

    As far as the second request, follow cpu_genius's advice as it's the best to use the original XP cd.

    Don't you think they have fixed this by now? I mean if 4 years isn't long enough to fix the problem maybe they bought a new computer by now.
