Error code 1000-0146 and error code 0F00:0244
I got the dreaded blue screen today. Problem: unmountable_boot_volume After running diagnostics as directed by the support site, I received the aforementioned error codes. So do I need a new hard drive, or what? If so, any luck with recovery of information off of a hard drive. (Save the "you should have backed up speeches"! ....Duh...now I have kicked myself enough already!) I heard that you could buy a relatively inexpensive SATA 2.5 external something or other... and put your faulty drive into it and then try to recover information. What gives... I could really use my pictures and my i-Tunes library back!
thanks,
Jingall

Yes. It is a bad hard drive. Replace with any new, 2.5" drive, 9.5 mm or shallower. Then reload everything.
You will need a Windows disc - if you're in the US and don't have one, you can order one here:
