Hi Dan,

What is the *exact* text of the blue screen error?

What did you do with your Product Key? You know, the one that says "do not
lose this key"?

Hi,

(from private email)

Your "unmountable_boot_volume" can sometimes be resolved by running "chkdsk
C: /r" from the Recovery Console command prompt.

HOW TO: Install and Use the Recovery Console in Windows XP [Q307654]

As to your missing Product Key, once you get the system recovered, there are
utilities that can retrieve it for you.

This utility works for retail versions:

For OEM versions, download and install Aida32 from:
http://www.aida32.hu/aida-download.php?bit=32

You want the Personal Operating System version. The key is under OS
information.

Or, try this one which just gives you the key:
