A few days ago I got the 'unmountable_boot_volume' error on my computer. After some Googling I found that I had to boot from the XP cd and run chkdsk.
First problem: the computer (four years ago) didn't come with one, so I borrowed one from a friend.
Second problem: the computer won't boot from the CD. I've rearranged the boot order to no avail. I've even disabled the hard drive and floppy from booting, leaving only the CD drive. Still no luck.
I'd like to resolve this without reformatting/reinstalling. Any ideas? Thanks very much in advance.
