WindowsXP PRO
2 gig memory
MSI motherboard
Intell pentium 4
hard drive is western digital and is set to master with jumpers...and cd to slave
A) Hard drive 320 gig with 4 partions
Master (IDE CABLE) C: D: E: F: and cd on slave IDE cable (both on same IDE cable)
The reason I did this..(dont know how I did this but...)
wanted to have the 320 gig
C: operating system
D: for Zipped and unzipped stuff
E:\for Music
F: for swap file (memory?)
When I boot up I get a Unmountable _boot_volume BSOD
the only thing I cant tell is if I am using 40 or 80 pin cables. They are round IDE cables and I dont know how to check this??
How do I fix this without loosing my stuff?
Or better yet how can I get all my stuff to another location then re partion the whole thing (whole hard drive.)
I cant boot up unless I am using the "Ultimate boot disk 902_SE" (A live windows cd.)
I have tryed ALL of the obvious things like system restor.. cant run chkdsk... cant use system recovery...
nothing so far has worked. cant repair a windows install/.....
please help.
Thanks a million in advance.//////////
