Your computer will not boot returning the
error "Unmountable boot Volume".

If the recovery console can be used then the command
chkdsk /f should be run from there. Failing that you will
need to run a windows XP repair.

Thanks, I'll try it from the command prompt. The drives all seem to be

The chkdsk R trick worked perfectly, no data or program loss that I can see,
thanks very much
