I have a computer that I need to do a installation repair on. It's running a SATA drive and have tried everything:
fixboot
fixmbr
- slipstream XP using
nlite
to include the SATA drivers chkdsk /r
to try to fix any disk errors (just freezes @ 50%)
The problem with the computer is winxp won't boot, not even in safemode. It just restarts. I froze the error and got:
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
stop: 0x000000ED (0x8a635590,0xc0000009c,0x00000000,0x00000000)
When I go to try to do the repair using the Windows XP CD, I click enter to view partitions, then I am supposed to see an option to choose 'R' for repair which will reinstall the Windows installation but keep documents and settings and applications. But no option is available and the partition just says
Partitioned [unknown]
Can anyone give me some advice or tips? I'm running out of ideas.
Answer
Sounds like you have partition damage, I would suggest using Testdisk to attempt repair of the partition(s). Do plenty of reading before you use the software.
