Blue screen error - unmounted boot volume

Question

I was on the Dell PC the other night and it got hung up so I got out of it.  Went to boot back up and got the blue screen - unmounted boot volume.  Has anyone else had this error and can tell me what I should do to correct it and get back to my desktop.   thanks

This could be a problem with the HDD, also run the HDD diagnostics to see if there are a problem with the hard disk.

Running hard drive diagnostics will tell you that the drive has failed, which is false in most cases. Booting to the XP cd, running the Recovery Console, running CHKDSK /R first and then running FIXBOOT will correct the damaged file system.
