Hello,

ok i got a good one for you guys.
i'm getting a blue screen of death with a stop message that say unmountable_boot_volume.
stop code 0x000000ed 0x84677610,0xc0000185,0x00000000,0x00000000

i tried booting in safe mode but it doesn't work, i booted from os install cd but after loading files it goes to the windows loading screen and back to the bsod. sometimes it goes to a black screen with just the mouse showing.

it is a vista.

any help? thx

The hard drive is defective or needs to be reformatted.

You will need another computer to TRY to format it. Most likely the drive is defective and formatting will fail anyway.

Good Luck
