My PC froze while the Windows XP install disc was formatting the HDD install, I had no other option but to turn off the PC and restart and now I am greeted with the blue screen of death "Unmountable Boot Volume" error.

Can I use UBCD to fix this problem, if so which utilities should I try?

Thanks in advance.

Did you try to run the Windows XP isntall disc again, so you can format the partition again?

Yes I did: the CD copies the installation files to HDD normally during installation but when it restarts to continue install from the files copied to HDD the blue screen pops up. But now the installation just hangs and it doesn't even go into the installation menu

I was able to run an ISO image of Kubuntu from USB, installed gparted and ran it and I got this message:



Since I can't use the CD to do anything anymore, I searched and there is no chkdsk equivalent in Linux, so I have to use chkdsk, according to this list here: http://www.ubcd4win.com/contents.htm chkdsk is included in UBCD but I couldn't find it, you mind telling me where/how i can run it please?

Try it, should fix your problem.


Knoppix has intregrated support for ntfs (most linux live cd's do)...and a program called ntfsfix that does the same check for then disk as chkdsk.

Here is a success story:http://www.lostechies.com/blogs/jason_meridth/archive/2007/05/29/knoppix-ntfsfix-fixes-windows-xp-corrupted-ntfs.aspx


I never leave my home without knoppix on me.
