How can I get my PC to start up Windows XP again. It just loads the loading screen over and over again until I press F8 and force stop restart. Then the UNmountable Boot Volume message appears.
Hi @cdiddles81 Normally for unmountable boot volume, I can think of is the hard disk could be dying. since you mentioned about winxp, chances the hard disk has aged. What is your model of your current pc / laptop? If data is important, i would suggest you to start recovery. download hiren (burn to cd or make usb bootable from a working pc) which i suggest and run live linux window …. https://www.hirensbootcd.org/old-version… or connect to another computer to start the recovery. Get another external drive to copy and store your existing data / document. depending on your hard disk manufacturer, use the hdd diagnostic tool to run a full check.
