Guest TheBobMachine@gmail.com Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Hi. Since this morning, whenever I try to boot up my desktop computer I've been getting an "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" Stop error. The technical information of the Stop error is: *** STOP: 0x000000ED (0x87353030,0xC0000006,0x00000000,0x00000000). The blue screen comes on after the Windows XP splash has been up for a couple of seconds. I haven't installed any new hardware or software -- it was fine yesterday and it's not today. Right now I'm running Ubuntu off a CD but I need Windows back to run a program. I read about the error on the Microsoft Knowledge Base (http:// support.microsoft.com/kb/297185), but the second parameter isn't 0xC0000032 (which means it's not a damaged file system), and I don't know whether or not I have a UDMA hard disk controller or what kind of connector cable I have but I've had this computer for two and a half years and haven't had any problems like the before. I ran a Dell hard drive diagnostic and it said "Fail. Return Code: 7". I haven't the faintest idea what this means, but it might be related. Out of boredom I ran a memory check off of the Ubuntu CD, which showed a failure; I have no idea if this is related, and I don't know how to interpret it, so here's the result: Tst: 3 Pass: 0 Failing Address: 000001000dc - 1.0MB Good: efefefef Bad: fefefeef Err-Bits: 11111100 Count: 1 Chan: Any help would be appreciated. This is an urgent problem, as I need the computer for my work. Thanks very much for your attention.

I ran the recovery console and CHKDSK /R, and now it's working like a breeze, or at least seems to be. Thanks again.
