Unable to format the PC
Hi,
I have got windows XP home edition on my PC. Yesterday the PC suddenly crashed and displayed the error message "UNMOUNTABLE_DISK_VOLUME". I tried a no. of options to correct the error but didnot succeed. At last I thought of formatting the pc. I have 3 types of recovery disks. 1) System recovery 2) Application recovery 3) Driver Recovery I tried to hard boot the PC using the system recovery disk. The process ran for a few seconds and then stops displaying the error message "DISK ACCESS:SENSE OPERATION FAILED". Now when i try to boot my PC without the Recovery disk, I get the error "Missing Operating System" and If i try to boot it using the System Recovery disk, I get the error "DISK ACCESS:SENSE OPERATION FAILED". Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Gaurav |

Unable to format the PC
Gaurav;
Power off, open the case and reseat the hard drive IDE ribbon cable at both ends. If that fails: http://support.microsoft.com/default...EN-US;Q297185& http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315403 Otherwise contact the computer manufacturer since you obviously have recovery CDs. -- Jupiter Jones An easier way to read newsgroup messages: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p...oups/setup.asp Please respond to newsgroup only for everyone's benefit.
