206265 2004-01-09 06:37:00 Ok, that was a stupid subject line, but I'm desperate. My Windows XP pro machine has just refused to start up, giving me the error message UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME. It happened after I had a power flick and my machine turned off while processing closing a game of Warcraft 3 down. Checking it out, it looks as if my file sytem is damaged. I would really prefer not to have to do a full re-format, because there is a lot of stuff that i really should have backed up. I there any way to repair the damage without a format? manik_munkey (4223)
206266 2004-01-09 06:43:00 get a bootable cd like knoppix linux and transfer them to cd/network Megaman (344)
206267 2004-01-09 06:54:00 manik_munkey,

See my reply in this thread Unmountable_Boot_Volume (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) {be patient waiting for it to load} for some pointers towards resolving your problem.

Cheers, Babe.
