Your hard disk is either dying or you have some cable or
power supply problem. The phrase "mount volume" means read
the disk.

Joe;
Power off, open the case and reseat the hard drive IDE ribbon cable at
both ends.
If that fails:

Otherwise go to the website of the hard drive manufacturer and
download their hard drive diagnostics.
