Unmountable Boot Volume

I have a New laptop that came with Win XP home pre installed. I used it for a couple weeks then installed the software for my external zip drive. Now when I boot the computer I get the blue screen of death with an "Unmountable boot volume" with the following numbers

Stop: 0x0000000ed (0x81309030, 0xC000014f, 0x0000000, 0x0000000, 0x0000000)

I can not get the computer to start in Safe mode or command prompt mode, All modes give the same error

Dose any one know hat this error means? If so can I fix it with out formating the hard drive?

Thanx
 
You may be able to boot from the CD, then see if it offers a "Repair" option.

Something like Norton might be able to bring back your MBR.

I'm pretty sure you can't boot a DOS disk and do the FDISK /mbr thing because it's an NTFS partition (probably). You might want to consider it as a last-ditch effort though.

Good Luck

Boot from the Windows XP CD and then do the repair option.

At the prompt, type chkdsk /r and let it do it's thing...
