Hi please bear with me as this is a biggyHey, Yesterday I turned on my laptop,the windows screen started up with the blue bar under the word windows, loading. Then the **** thing just went off and re started….. I have pressed f8 and restarted in every which way suggested,but to no avail. In desperation I tried the recovery. This just took me to a blue screen with “unmountable_boot_volume” at top and several things below such as if this is the first time you have seen this screen then please re start computer etc. It suggests to remove bios and such but the thing is I cant get anything else,apart from what I have described, to happen…Please any suggestions as to what I can do.I am on my works computer now and am not capable enough to begin removing hard drives and do not want to have to use this one for anything other than maybe a downloadable “fix it” programme lol on blushing.gif I am using a hp 510 notebook with windows xp 2000 service pack two,by the way. Any way some how or other i managed eventually to access the recovery this time with the option of formatting the hard disc,as this is only my recreational computer I decided that ok lets go. It then asked me to insert recovery disc one(which luckily I had) so i did. I have reached number 8 and come to a stand still. Now all i get when i turn off and on again is the recovery asking for disc 8 which then does nothing or f10 rom based set up which when chosen asks for an administrators password which I dont have Please if anyone can help I will be eternally grateful I am not a Bill Gates and getting more upset by the second!!! I apologis efor the long question but its just so I cover everything
