Fixing Unmountable Boot Volume

First, this is in reference to my previous blog about my Dell computer experiencing an error message called "Unmountable Boot Volume" and not allowing me to boot up my computer so I could see the desktop window. Well, I solved that problem, but with less than desirable results...
A WARNING: The steps below WILL ERASE everything on your computer; meaning, all your pictures, word documents, files, games, etc. will be gone.
The steps to fix unmountable boot error:
1. Insert the Windows XP disc and start your pc.
2. Press F11 (I think) while it it booting up.
3. You should get to a screen that has a bunch of options... (AFTER THIS STEP, ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE LOST). You'll want to choose the option about booting from the CD in your computer.

Doing this will reinstall Windows XP and essentially erase all your personal files, but it should fix the problem. Good Luck.

Another picture of the blue screen I get every time I start my Dell PC... So basically it crashes at start up (when it loads windows).

The error message reads:

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

If this is the first time you’ve seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any Windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

Technical information:

*** STOP: 0x000000ED (0x867CDC08, 0xC0000006, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

Fixing a Dell Laptop Experiencing Freezing and Power Failure

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMEC37ryUoE
Directions:
Remove the lid on the bottom of your laptop. Then remove on the RAM modules, and close the lid; turn your laptop on to see if it now functions properly. If this has no effect on it, put back in the RAM module, and remove the other one. Test it again to see if it now works. If it still does not work, then your problem might be a software (not a hardware) problem.


Remember to wash your hands before doing this and be gentle with the technology inside your computer.

You also might notice that the computer runs slower with only one RAM module. I would recommend you order another RAM module. However, I do not think using just one RAM module affects your lap top negatively.

NOTE: I did not figure this out by myself; a friend (who would like to remain anonymous) recommended I try this.

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you’ve seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Run a system diagnostic utility supplied by your hardware manufacturer. In particular, run a memory check, and check for faulty or mismatched memory. Try changing video adapters.

Disable or remove any newly installed hardware and drivers. Disable or remove any newly installed software. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

Technical information:

*** STOP: 0x0000007F (0x0000000D, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)


Beginning dump of physical memory
Dumping physical memory to disk: 1
I’ve also gotten the technical information:

*** STOP: 0x0000008E (0C0000005, 0x7F4D9023, 0x79BDC700, 0x00000000).

DELL Latitude CPx - Common Problems (Freezing, Start Up Error, Blue Screen)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBEEojCyWgQ
The facts:
  • Model: Dell Latitude CPx (H500GT?) (Latitude C Family).
  • Bios version: A14
  • Processor: Pentium III
  • Operating system: Windows XP (Professional)

  • Model No: PPX
  • Ref number: 99080
  • IC class: C ICES-3

The Issues:

1. My Dell computer does not start up properly: I will push the on-button and the green start-up / power light will come on, but the computer will not start. There will be no sound of the computer working. Then, the light will turn off a few seconds later. How or when I press the on-button makes no difference.

2. At random, the “blue screen of death” will appear. The error messages generally read:

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you’ve seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Run a system diagnostic utility supplied by your hardware manufacturer. In particular, run a memory check, and check for faulty or mismatched memory. Try changing video adapters.

Disable or remove any newly installed hardware and drivers. Disable or remove any newly installed software. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

Technical information:

*** STOP: 0x0000007F (0x0000000D, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)


Beginning dump of physical memory
Dumping physical memory to disk: 1
I’ve also gotten the technical information:
*** STOP: 0x0000008E (0C0000005, 0x7F4D9023, 0x79BDC700, 0x00000000).

3. Freezing up at random. Though, sometimes this seems to happen when the laptop is moved or touched, but not always.

4. On a few occasions, the laptop has restarted randomly.


What has NOT helped:

  • Reinstalling Windows XP (Professional).
  • Running Safe Mode.
  • Disk Defragmenting.
  • “Cleaning”
  • Uninstalling new software.
