CD onto drive "C" ... machine rebooted - then blue screen
of death - "yacky-yacky-yacky ... Unmountable boot
volume" ... HELP? What's happening? Fix? Thanks ...

Don't think so ... I was running Win XP Pro (hard been
upgraded through a series of Win 9x) ... ran beautifully
until hard drive burned up.
