Can you help me with a SIMPLE recovery method? The last time I had to take it to a repair shop and I don’t want to do that again. I cannot find my installition disk and I’ve tried every thing to fix the “unmountable_Boot_Volume” message. but thx a lot.:Dĭidn’t work, it said it had one or more unrecoverable problems ?Ĭheck this, even if you do not have the installation CD. could’t use the first way with /p, but the second /r was good, it took about an hour for it to get finish.

Remove the OS CD whiles your PC is rebooting. Press enter, instead of R to use the recovery console.Īs it runs, you will be informed that there was a repair of the OS Worked for me too, Windows Server 2003!! thanks a ton!īut you can also start your PC from a bootdisk Jaycees said this on Decemat 10:52 am | Reply I just solved the same problem with the above procedure.
What can I do to fix this problem? I really need some help.
My computer was bought at Dell with the software already installed. I have this problem and I do not have the instilation disk.

Wooow, i tried the above method and it really really worked for me. I’ve seen this done, and maybe even done it years ago, but don’t remember how, you’ll have to look around for editing registry hive from alternate disk or alternate system etc.30 Responses to “UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME ERROR ***STOP : 0x000000ED”īut what if you don’t have a reboot disk made I am not sure how you can load the registry hive outside of the OS, but I do know it’s possible because you can copy/backup the registry from another system off the main system disk and open/edit there. This means AHCI or IDE is not enabled for booting from within the OS. 0x7b means you need to make registry edits in order to enable AHCI or IDE mode, whichever BIOS was set to that gives that error as this is a commonly known error when switching between modes without the changes below. Verify partition with disk management or partition tool, to be sure the OS is the first partition and there is not some other hidden small partition before the OS partition (you know, like Vista/Win7 likes to to) That boot.ini looks correct, provided there is only one hard drive and the OS is installed at the very first partition Sorry, I have not modified XP in forever, but all this is possible manually, before nlite and vlite existed. I actually modified it a lot of times, but it mostly always was I did that, when I booted with AHCI i got 0x7b and in IDE i got 0圎D for some reason, so it actually might be the problem. How would I even do that? The guide says to use nLite.
If it’s a newer driver (made in last 5-8 years at least), then none of this applies or matters. I know that probably sounds odd, but if the drive is really old this may apply. What hard drive are you using, is it IDE or SATA, if SATA does it have jumper directions on the HDD label? If yes, what do they say, and what if anything is the jumper set to now? Check disk layout while connected to the other system with disk manager or other partition managing program, and make sure if OS is only one disk and only one partition that boot.ini matches and says disk zero and partition 1ĭoes this current as-is messed up install, boot to windows now if you switch BIOS to IDE again? If yes, run SFC /SCANNOW and then stop after that there and let me know, I will help you check something in registry Open it yourself too, does it all look correct, pointing to the correct disk and disk partition layout. Of course any change that is messed up still might only affect AHCI modes, but this is something I still would test myselfĬan you connect the disk to another system? If yes, get to the root of the drive and copy the boot.ini file here.
That means you haven’t confirmed this modified nlite install image is OK, by installing with it in IDE mode, correct? You may need to do that, in case something was messed up during the modification steps.
Can you try same type of mod with another program, or manually instead?
