700151 2008-08-25 05:35:00 Tell us what the stop error says, and the name of the file (under it, if its says the name of a file or driver)

Or what it says on the screen

Ok it says

A Problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

If this is the first time you have seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation ask your hardware of software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, Press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

Technical Information:

*** STOP: 0x000000ED (0x87312368,0xC0000006,0x00000000,0x00000000)

Sorry that took so long to type

700152 2008-08-25 05:37:00 ie: If you were doing a document in word, when it crashed, whatever is gone.

You'll have to do it again

It wasn't a crash, it just came up with that screen for the first time when my dad tried to start up the computer

700153 2008-08-25 05:41:00 support.microsoft.com says that either the file system is damaged or another technical glitch occurred. (I won't tell you - you can read it if you want to know. :))

This could be a biggie. :eek:

700154 2008-08-25 05:44:00 It could mean this (support.microsoft.com)

Or this (support.microsoft.com)

700155 2008-08-25 05:46:00 Biggie sounds bad

So there is no way to fix it?

700156 2008-08-25 05:50:00 Read the links, if the IDE cable is 40 pin, swap it for an 80 pin IDE cable (this has a blue connector on the end of the IDE cable).

WHAT else is connected to this hard drive?? Or is it by iself?

700157 2008-08-25 05:56:00 I have no idea about your pin thingy :confused:

I shall send an e-mail to Acer and see what reply I get

I have a USB Printer plugged in the front of the computer but that is it..

700158 2008-08-25 05:57:00 Is it still under warranty? If it is, take it back

This is a desktop right?? Not a laptop?
Speedy Gonzales (78)
700159 2008-08-25 06:00:00 If it's a laptop, you can't replace the cable. If it's a desktop, try replacing the cable with this (ascent.co.nz).

BTW IDE cables are inside the computer. ;)

And it's 80 wire not 80 pin.

700160 2008-08-25 06:01:00 1)Yes it's a desktop
2)I'm not sure about the warranty. How long do they usually last?
3)Which cable? eg:Monitor etc..
