When booting up to Windows XP you may get an
error that reads: Unmountable Boot Volume.
This is probably because your boot.ini file is messed up. Here is a possible remedy:
-
Start Windows XP with the
Windows XP CD in your CD/DVD drive.
-
Once you see the "Welcome to
setup" message, press the letter 'R' on your keyboard to enter the Recovery
Console.
-
Select the Windows installation
to be repaired (you will need to know the administrator password.
-
You will then get a DOS prompt.
from here, type: chkdsk /p [Enter]
-
When that is done type: fixboot [Enter]
-
Type: Y at the next prompt [Enter]
-
Then type: exit [Enter]
-
The system will now reboot into Windows.
If for some reason that didn't work, you can boot to the recovery console (example above).
Type: "chkdsk /r" [Enter]
When done type: exit [Enter].
This takes a bit longer, but the system should boot back into Windows.
