I have IBM computer and i tried to clean it for dust. This wasn't the first
time I did it and I didn't had any problems before, my computer even worked
better. When i assambled it again, a blue screen appeared whit the error
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME and asked me if i changed any hardware or software
configuration. I didn't did anything wrong(i think) because i didn't changed
any devices. I tried to install Windows XP Professional Again, but it didn't
worked. I even tried to format the primary partition but this error screan
appeared again. At the screen where appeared all the partition on the
bootable CD, the first partition was "UNKNOWN" so i format it again. After
all the files were copied on the HDD, and the computer restarted, the same
error appeared.
What is wrong with my computer ???????

Since this happened right after you had opened the computer and cleaned
it, unplug the computer and open it again. Now reseat all ribbon cables
and power supply connectors to the drives. If everything is nice and
snug and you still get the message, test the hard drive with a
diagnostic utility from the drive mftr. Obviously you'll need to get
the diagnostic from a working computer. If the drive fails, replace it.
Otherwise, it sounds like you damaged your motherboard while working
inside the case.
