No, this has nothing to do with not being able to mount a volume on boots; it's the message I get when I try to start the piece of junk Gateway computer we have at the house. (Hint: it's original operating system was Windows ME and it arrived with the cd burner disconnected. It's NEVER worked right.) Now when I try to start it, it tells me that Windows can't start properly, offers me a menu of modes to start in, all of which lead to a message that says it has detected an Unmountable_Boot_Volume. When it is trying to start, it makes a grinding noise!
So, has the hard drive toasted for the second time on this machine? If so, anyway I can recover a folder of files I stupidly didn't backup on to a disk? (And I know better too!
) Is there a way to transfer it directly from the hard drive to another computer. We have a laptop we could hook it to...
By the way, it was currently running on XP, but if we take it back to a Gateway outlet to get it fixed they will install ME again because that is what it came with.
Worst operating system ever.
