Problem Booting Computer!!!

😕

Okay people here's a problem with my computer...

I boot it up, it passes bios, checks ram and drives.
I load up Windows XP and I now get 5 choices, safe mode and normal mode and all that stuff but in every single mode I jump into, I get this problem

"Unmountable Boot Volume"!!!

Does anyone know what this is? I can't seem to get rid of this, please help me if you know any solutions... (I hope it doesn't include formating, if so can I still bring the harddrive to someone's house and backup the data even though it's not bootable?).

Thanks.
 
Try booting off the CD-ROM, go into the recovery console and type fixmbr, press enter and then reboot the system. This should fix the boot record and the problem you're getting.

Give that a shot and let me know how it went.
 
Would this overwrite the current data I have on my hard drive??? Just as like what fdisk does beside formatting?

If it does, does my current hard drive be able to function so I can backup the data that's currently on it?
 
Guys I've hit a problem.

I tried booting up with the Windows XP thing, I tried chkdsk /r (as said in the Microsoft web site that it should clear this problem) but I can't even chkdsk on my C: it says I have a bad boot or whatever it was.

So I tried fixboot and when I rebooted the computer, it gave me a
NTMTR (can't remember what it was) was missing and I can't even boot anywhere? Does anyone know what that NT thing is???
