Unbootable Mount Volume

[Scott White]

I have a PC that had power supply burn up (the 3.3v output died). The PC had numerouse errors when booting and would go into a re-boot loop. I repartitioned and reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled Windows XP. I now get an error on boot that state
s "Unbootable Mount Volume" the error code is 0x000000ED (0x81BDA,0xC0000185, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).

If anyone else has seen this error, can you help decipher it? Is the hard drive trash? The hard drive runs off different voltage then the mainboard's 3.3v. Memmory tested fine, and the cpu seems to be working good.

Thanks for any help.
