Unbootable
My Optiplex is not booting. I don't know what happended to it cause I'm not single user but this is what I got when I try to start:
Options to enter in safe mode, normal mode, last working configuration, but any option gives me a blue screen with this message:
"A problem has been found and Windows has been turned off to avoid damage to
the equipment.
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
If this is the first time...
...
Technical Information:
*** STOP: 0x000000ED (0x81B25E30, 0xC0000006, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)"
What can I do? Thanks
hi,
maybe the suggestion to reload Windows is not correct, it is premature at least !
Why would the volume be unmountable ? That question needs an answer first.Have you run Dell Diagnostics to make sure the disk is physically okay ?
Re-installing Windows on a broken disk would be a waste of time.
Microsoft has the following info on STOP: 0x000000ED. Part from that page :SYMPTOMSWhen you use volumes that use the NTFS file system on integrated device electronics (IDE) drives with caching enabled, you may receive the following error message during startup:Stop 0x000000EDThe normal recovery process in such a case is to run the chkdsk /r command from Recovery Console, and then continue. On OEM versions of Windows XP, the Recovery Console may not be accessible. If this fix has not been included in the OEM build of Windows XP, you may not be able to enter Recovery Console and run the chkdsk /r command for recovery. For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Unmountable_Boot_Volume308402 Cannot Log On to Recovery Console After Running Sysprep in Windows XPIs the Recovery console installed ? If not, boot from your XP cd and choose to Repair XP using recovery console, and run the chkdsk /r command. Hope that works.
