Cant use Recovery Console
After getting continuous reboots with the split second blue screen stating
"unmountable boot volume", I try to run RC from the XP CD and after entering the number "1",nothing happens after that. Also tried a reinstall of Windows and it hangs and does nothing else after hitting F8 to accept the license agreement. Message on bottom just stays on "Searching for previos versions of Windows". Cant get into safe mode,last known configuration etc. When I try to boot to safe mode it hangs on "mup.sys". Any advice is greatly apprieciated and TY in advance.Deanoid |

Cant use Recovery Console
Top posted 'cause OEQuote fix isn't working right at the moment. Pardon my
lack of form I have to ask some silly questions... Does your CD have scratches? Does your CD player work properly? Do you have a RAM issue? Has their been a hardware failure of any type? Maybe even hard disk errors though that'd be after I checked RAM and the CD player. These aren't answers, they're just where I'd start if I were troubleshooting the system and the errors were as you described. Galen -- Signature changed for a moment of silence. Rest well Alex and we'll see you on the other side. "Deanoid" wrote in message ...

Cant use Recovery Console
Thankyou Galen and Will for your reply.I tried your suggestions but didnt
have any luck.I did try a suggestion from another post when I did a search for "unmountable boot volume" in the Hardware News Group. George pointed me to a link that suggested that I take the suspect harddrive out and swap it with one on a good system.Well I exchanged the harddrive into a system exactly the same and what happened was at least this time it tried to boot.But I received a message at the bottom telling me to boot from disk.So I did this and ran chkdsk /r and after that the harddrive booted no problem,the system up and running.Well now I switched the drive back into the old system and it wont boot and I cant run the recovery console after entering "1'', it just does nothing.Does this mean there's something wrong with the MB or some other thing in the bad system??As a note I also tried to run a hard drive diagnostic tool -PowerMax- but it exited right away stating "Exiting due to SIGFPE floating point exception!!! Whatever that means!!! Any advice is greatly apprieciated again.Thankyou for your time and patience.
