Unmountable boot volume!! chkdsk wont work

[Liz_C]

Hi everyone, i'm new here and i've been reading through all of the unmountable boot volume information and threads and have done chkdsk /r and p, the fixboot etc. The blue screen which says unmountable boot volume persists, is there anything else I can do other than the reformat which everyone seems to keep pushing? If there's anything I can do to not lose all of my data and work that would be so great, so any suggestions are welcome. thanks!

A Repair Install will likely fix your problem and will leave your personal data and settings intact. If you need help doing it just ask. :)

You may also want to run the diagnostic test from your hard drive manufacturer to make sure that it's physically OK.
