Hi

My WinXP Home PC NTFS SP1 has just crashed whilst I was using it. It gave a
blue screen with error: 0X000000ED... (unmountable boot volume)

An hour or so earlier I installed latest drivers for my NVIDIA graphics
card, and also installed TW PGA Tour 2006, it was a cloned copy that didn't
work, I'd also been cleaning out the registry with Registry tune up and
Registry fix.

So after "BSOD" I ran CHKDSK off recovery cd, which informed me I had
unrecoverable sectors or words to that effect, then I ran FIXBOOT which
completed but didn't sort the problem, and I cannot get into safe mode to
remove drivers and game.
I googled but I couldn't see a fix I could apply.

All help would be greatfully appreciated

If you must post identical messages in more than one newsgroup please
crosspost, i.e. please place all of the newsgroups in the Newsgroup field of
one message, separated by commas. That way when someone reads the message
in one newsgroup it will be marked as read in all of them. In addition, an
answer posted in one newsgroup will generally show up in all of them.

This is usually not necessary since most of those who answer posts read
more than one newsgroup.

Did you use the /R parameter when you ran CHKDSK? If not then boot
back to the recovery console and this time try the command:

CHKDSK C: /R

and see if that will resolve the problem. It should work, especially
if the second parameter following the STOP code is 0xC0000032


Good luck

Thanks for the reply Ron
