Unmountable Boot Error
Hey- A newbie here ![:) :)](https://icrontic.com/resources/icrontimoji/smile.gif)
Just to start it off, nice forum you guys got here!
I've read the past threads and posts about "Unmountable Boot Error" and I've googled it and tried some of the suggestions that came up- but it just didn't work- my comp doesnt respond as how the directions are showed to...
I specifically used this one-
http://www.windowsreinstall.com/winxppro/installxpcdrepair/indexfullpage.htm
To make things way easier- I plugged in a new hardrive (90 gig) that already had another Windows system installed on it (unknowingly). It obviously lagged my system incredibly OBSESSIVELY, so I reformatted my old drive, with the old Windows systems... On the new drive, it's originally in Chinese, except- It was one of my fam members, and I can't read Chinese, lol.
I set my first boot as the CD Drive, and I popped in the Windows Disk... My comp got to the first step of "Press any key to boot from CD...". But then it just boots up to this screen covered in Chinese and highlights "Windows XP' 28 secs. Then, it just loads to Windos XP (No idea what you call it, the bar just moves back and forth
). After that, it gives me the Blue screen with the "Unmountable_Boot_Error" and everything under it...
Other directions say to download things that can patch up the defficiency, but I can't even get into the Welcome sign in....
Any takers for help?![:scratch: :scratch:](https://icrontic.com/resources/icrontimoji/scratch.gif)

And of course yes remember to hit a key to boot from the cdrom as the screen prompts ya to.
After installing or repairing (what ever your trying to do off the cd) reinsert the hard drive in the boot sequence.

Thanks,
UserFriendly.
Does the cd boot on other computers?
Tex
Set the floppy as the first boot device and boot from the floppy disk. Hopefully it will find your cdrom drive and assign it a drive letter.
Then, with the XP CD in the drive, type the cdrom drive letter:\setup.exe and press "enter".
Here is my info!
Technical Information

Ok ok.. Heres what I do..
1. Insert WinXP System Recovery Disc 1
2. Restarted Computer
3. Let it run until the Operation system selection screen
4. Select and press enter on 'Start Windows Normally'
5. Let it run until blue screen
6. Get pissed and look for more information on my other computer
Would someone please help me with this.. And please do not give me any worthless links of info.. Because I guarantee you that they will not work, Thank you
If so, Press R.
If not, follow the instructions here to add the recovery console to the list of operating systems available when you boot your computer. This guide assumes you can get into safe mode, and hopefully you can. If not, we have additional options.
As mentioned, that guide assumes you can get into safe mode. Can you?
