Un-mountable Boot Error

Joke:
This computer you charged me L950 for doesn’t work….and you said it would be trouble free. It is, I charged you L950 for the computer, but you’re getting all that trouble absolutely free!
Article:
If Windows XP pops up with an un-mountable boot volume or stop error, it is typically caused by one or more of the following problems:

  • Bad sectors
  • Corrupt boot
  • Operating system corruption
  • Bad hard disk drive
  • Failed or failing hard disk drive
  • Incompatible software or hardware

 

This error will completely stop the booting process and caused all data to become totally un-readable. This does not mean a person will never see their data again though.
This is one of the cases that would require clean-room work to be done to the drive in order to get it running enough to extract the data off and put it onto a new drive.

If the problem is not serious yet, it may be possible for the individual to access the data on the drive and save it to a backup drive, before the entire drive becomes un-readable. However, if the drive is readable still, but does show these errors occasionally, it is very important to act quickly to save the data.  Although, if it is too late to backup the data, or there is not a recent copy of the data on the drive, a data recovery company can quickly and easily recover data from stop error corruption.
