I did'nt know where to post this so i'll post it here. My PC has completely crashed, all I get is a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) saying

'unmountable_boot_volume'

I ca'nt even log on to Safe Mode or debugging mode. I no longer have the XP CD and was using a copied version anyway... I would just get a new PC but I have tons of essays, valuable documents and most importantly almost 3GB of PORN!!!

Anyone know what I can do? Or know of any good Porn friendly PC repair guys in the East London area???

Your boot.ini file is f**ked

Dowload the Windows XP boot disk from

The Win XP boot disk takes 6 floppy disks by the way

Don't worry too much, the data on the disk is still probably OK.

Do you know someone who owns another PC ? (or do you have another
PC ?)

Not sure if you are aware, but you can move your hard disk from your
machine (where it is a 'master') to another machine and make it a 'slave'.

You should then be able to copy the data off your disk onto the 'master'
of the PC you put it in to.

BUT YOU HAVE LEARNT A GOOD LESSON. ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR DATA
REGULARLY, TO A CD OR DVD, or at least copy it to another disk in your
PC, or even onto another PC.

Guilbert beat me to the answer..

When the XP SP2 update first arrived I downloaded it and had the same lovely colour blue screen. It seems 33% of pc's suffered at the time.

I just bought a new hd, formatted that as "C," then made the old drive a slave and copied 99% of the stuff across. The only problem you'll have is with programmes that you don't have disks for, if you had to re-boot after the downlaod and install. These add files to the reg and sys folders and these will only work if you do a "Ghost" to copy the info.

Get a new hard drive then buy a USB to IDE converter, it will cost you about ?30 and saves you the hassle of people looking at your drive. you can then check to see if your drive is completely fu*ked. if not you should be able to copy it all back.

mail me if you need any more information

Er, any PC repair shop should be able to fix it. As long as there isn't any kiddy porn on there, what's the problem?

id buy new hd ,install it obv with reg version of xp !! then mount other drive as slave to extract data from or use as a main hd for pornos

then leave new hd with nout on !!

Thanks guys for your input, Im sick of spending my cash in internet cafes! My computer literacey is zero so im gonna take all your advice and find a PC repair person to fix the problem for me... Hopefully they are not pansy about a bit of porn... HARD FUCKING CORE!
