Alternatively, you could format the HD and re-install your software. If any of
the software is bootlegged, don't re-install it.

While that type of action can sometimes be necessary, in most
instances it is the equivalent of "capital punishment for jaywalking".

Val

Post details of the exact text of the Stop Error message.

Do you have a Recovery Disk. If yes read page 7 and then Page 5 of the
link below.
http://support.gateway.com/s/Manuals...ps/8510497.pdf

At Step 3 press R. On the basis that it works and takes you to your
Desktop follow the instructions in the next link but disregarding the
bit about logging on as administrator. Select a System Restore for a
date before the error first occurred.

Print out this link for later use
http://bertk.mvps.org/

If pressing R at Step 3 does not work make sure you select Full System
Restore (with Backup) and not the other Destructive option.

Good luck.

It says: "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME"

Under Technical Information it says:
***Stop: 0x000000ED (0x80E9BE30, 0xc0000032, 0x00000000,0x00000000)

So what is the problem with that computer?

With parameter 2 value = 0xc0000032 the problem is with the hard drive
data structure.

You need to boot the computer to the Windows XP Recovery Console and
then run the following command:

CHKDSK C: /R

There are several ways to boot to the Recovery Console, depending on
your brand of computer, the hardware that it has, and the type of
Windows XP CD that you have.

If you have a Windows XP Installation CD (not a "System Recovery"
disk) then boot with that and choose the Repair (Recovery Console)
option from the opening menu.

If you have a Compaq computer then it has a boot menu option that
includes running the Recovery Console. Some other brands have this as
well - check the documentation or contact the manufacturer.

If your computer has a 3.5 inch diskette drive then you can download
the boot diskette images for your version of XP from
http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=310994 Create the diskettes and
boot the computer with them.

You can also create a Windows XP Bootable CD with Bart's PE Builder
from http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ and boot your computer with the CD
that creates.

Good luck

Is BartPE legal? Also, what will CHKDISK do?
