Problem starting XP

[Russell]

Hi,

After a power cut, tried to restart the computer, and a
black screen is displayed saying that Windows failed to
start successfully. It displays various options such as
Safe Mode and Start Windows Normally (it mentions that if
a power failure occured to choose Start Windows Normally)

I have tried all available options, but no matter what I
choose, XP will not start. Instead, it displays a blue
screen, saying that "A problem has been detected and
Windows has shut down to prevent damage to the computer"
then it says :

UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

Are there any solutions to this problem? Any help would be
appreciated.... Thanks!
