Problem = Unmountable Boot Volume

[Beef-Mc]

Sister turned the power off from the main comp and tried to restart but is now only getting this message with a blue screen.

Anyone any idea's?

corrupted boot sector

run boot cd in recovery console and run chkdsk /r

 

[Beef-Mc]

Will that damage any files stored on the computer?

 

[MikeyK18]

shouldnt do
7 times outta 10 it repairs ok

if it dont repair format is needed

lesson learned for improper shut down

corrupted boot sector

run boot cd in recovery console and run chkdsk /r

Dunno if you get this far but, if the boot sector is corrupt, start the comp in safe mode with command prompt,

Type, fixboot c: (c= your volume name)

and... fixmbr c: (master boot record if your curious)

 

[Beef-Mc]

Can't get into safe mode, just constantly comes up with the blue screen.

I take it that it's a common fault caused by improper shut down?

run chkdsk/r

trust me

 

[Beef-Mc]

run chkdsk/r

trust me

Will do, old man is currently searching for the disk.

 

[realnumber 1]

run chkdsk/r

trust me

Or if that fails do it again and type "fixboot" where you typed chkdsk /r

 

[Beef-Mc]

Putting in CHKDSK/R but is telling me it's not valid.

Is CHKDSk just the same thing?

Im with alan......

 

[Beef-Mc]

Im with alan......

Ah if my comp gets fixed your in

IS there anything else I need to do after chkdsk /r?

 

[BioHzrd]

chkdsk/r is Check Disc Repair iirc but run chkdsk n itll show up any errors that are there....

 

[Beef-Mc]

Ok so I've done chkdsk /r and it's completed, telling me that it's found and fixed an error.

Do I just start it now?

 

[BioHzrd]

boot the fucker n get some pics of your sis lol

 

[Beef-Mc]

It has now booted up very nicely

Thanks to mikeyk18 and everyone else who helped.
