BIOS/OS problem
When i turn on my Dell Latitude D505 notebook, I get the dell screen and the Windows XP screen but then I get a message on a blue screen that says:
"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to provent damage to your computer.
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any new windows updates you might need.
If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.
Technical Information:
*** STOP: 0x000000ED (0x80F53E30, 0xC00000006, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)"
I'm not sure how to do any of the stuff its telling me to do. If someone could walk me through a way to get past this screen into Windows, any help would be greatly appreciated.

If this is the case, restart the computer to the Recovery Console, and then use the chkdsk /r command to repair the volume. After you repair the volume, check your hardware to isolate the cause of the file system damage.
To do this, use the following steps: 1.Start your computer with the Windows startup disks, or with the Windows CD-ROM if your computer can start from the CD-ROM drive.2.When the Welcome to Setup screen appears, press R to select the repair option.3.If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer, select the Windows installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.4.Type the administrator password when you are prompted to do so.
NOTE: If no administrator password exists, press ENTER.5.At the command prompt, on the drive where Windows is installed, type chkdsk /r, and then press ENTER.6.At the command prompt, type exit, and then press ENTER to restart your computer.For additional information about how to use the Recovery Console in Windows XP, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Note that a variety of issues can cause file system damage, from faulty hardware to software configuration problems or viruses. You can run Chkdsk /r at a command prompt to resolve the file system damage, but you may lose some data.
