| I have two computers, and I am unable to boot on one of them (I am posting using my other computer). I get this error when I try to start Windows XP, first bringing me to the startup screen saying something like: "We're sorry for the inconvienience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent software or hardware change might have caused this" Then it gives me the option to boot from Safe Mode, normally, or last known good configuration. I try to boot normally, and it gives me this "blue screen of death" type message: A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME ... (some instructions it gave me) ... *** STOP 0X000000ED (C0X8130EC30, 0XC0000006, 0X00000000, 0X00000000) It gave me steps to solve this problem, but they were no help to me. I've rebooted the computer using Safe Mode and Last Known good Configuration, but they still ended up in the blue screen. I've looked up what the error message means, it says something about the file system being damaged, or that I am using a wrong Ultra Direct Memory Access controller (UDMA) cable. I know that my hard drive had worked before and I know that I am not using a wrong UDMA cable. And it says that if the 2nd parameter of the stop error is 0xC0000032, then it's a file system error. What is a 0XC0000006 error, then? I do not wish to reformat the hard drive, and any help will be greatly appreciated. |

Originally posted by R2H2 I used the recovery console, and did "chkdsk /r", but it tells me that the hard drive has an unrecoverable error. Looks like I have to format the whole hard disk...  |

Originally posted by elixirnova It's alright, I already have formatted it, and I have it up and running just fine. Thanks anyway  I've learned a valuable lesson in this... always back up your data! Don't think that it won't ever happen to you, because it can!  |

| CoolMario, I would seriously consider replacing the drive in question. More often than not, a drive that suddenly becomes unbootable is going bad and will corrupt itself again sooner or later (unless you did something that might have caused the problem, like reboot or power down while Windows was running). I would recommend downloading a diagnostic suite from the manufacturer's website and letting that run a while. If it finds anything at all wrong, consider the drive as good as dead. |

*strongly seconds everything said above* I was going to recommend the diagnostic suite, but I've been beaten to it  I suffer from "hard drive paranoia" due to experiences with my hard drives (ones that developed the "ping of death" ones that partitioned *itself* into 100 partitions and became unbootable, etc) so I'd at the least be running a diagnostic and looking into a replacment. |

| Did you have any SMART warnings before? Messages such as "backup data immidealy". Sometimes thoose warnings aren't always right, my HD did only show thoose messages on april 1st. Very strange... and that was after my dad did do a virus scan. (which is alot of work for an HD). Heh, i'm not surprised if you need to repartition that thing. (partitions are on lower level than the filesystems is, formating a HD gives it an filesystem) And i'm the hell not surprised either if it breaks down after some time. Get a new HD, they are very cheap. If you get the HD working somehow, backup the hell out of it before it stops working competly. And well, I'm actually prepared for that day when that HD dies competly. Whenever it's tomorrow or in three years... |
