Windows Recovery Console

i was playing Rise of nations when the game crashed, direct x poped an AGP Error, MEmory leaked everywhere, and i restarted, only it wouldn't load, and in safe mode it stoped loading at a graphics driver, and the recovery console gave an errormsg(UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME STOP...etc)
Do you have a UDMA enabled hard drive? If so, are you using a 80-wire cable, as opposed to a 40 wire cable (my cousin's computer had the same issue, ran fine for months on the wrong cable, and then suddenly had the unmountable_boot_volume error. Replacing the cable fixed the problem).

Fixed it by going into recovery console and using FIXMBR and FIXBOOT. also ran CHKDSK /F just to make sure.

Obviously if you don't have a XP CD, then borrowing one is probably a good idea.
