my laptop has crashed in a spectacular way i cannot reboot it the error
message reads "unmountable_boot_volume" i cannot find my xp cd so how can i
get a copy of one i have tried using a friends one but i still cannot reboot
from cd any suggestions?
 
I see no way to recover without booting the system. What tools do you have
available for that?
 
probably need to boot with
a windows cd, log on to the
recovery console and simply
run a chkdsk.

here is more info:

If you cannot boot using another genuine winxp cd, and the boot order is set
to boot from cd, then you have a hardware problem
 
I too, had a crashed laptop with a corupt file. It would not reboot no
matter what I did with my XP setup disk. So finally one night I put my Vista
setup Disk in the drive and it started to read it. I left it in all night
and the next morning I was able to boot it and reinstalled XP. One bad
result, I can't get any sound and I get an error message that I have no
Audio. I have been working on this for about 4 days and I finally came
accross something in WinDVD that said with Intervideo Windows would not play
any music. So I am going to uninstall it and see what happens.
