I cannot start Windows XP. I have the following blue screen message:
unmountable_boot_volume
STOP:0x000000ED (0x8237E608, 0xC000009C, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
Any ideas how I can resolve?

What is your Windows XP CD as it is described on the face of the CD?

What is your computer make and model? How old is it?

Hope this helps.

Hi,
First, test your Hard Drive health by downloading the Diagnostic tools from
the Hard Drive manufacturer website for your HDD specs, make a bootable
CD/DVD and run the test, it may be the HDD going bad/dying.
Any new hardware/software installed, can you start in Safe Mode or any Mode?.

Try to perform a check disk by using the recovery console, you will need the
installation media (XP CD):
Try to run the chkdsk /r from the Recovery console and also the Fixmbr:

Thanks Glen for reporting the outcome.

Was the hard drive under warranty and supplied free of charge?

I think this just happened to me. I don't have everything backed up, please
tell me I won't lose everything!?!?!? I was on a webpage and it froze and I
shut it down manually and then it wouldn't restart. And it won't restart in
safe mode, I just get the blue screen. It asks me to do things but I don't
get how to do it since it won't let me.

If your hard drive died, you have most likely lost everything.
