  • Is there way to do it to a CD rather than a floppy? my laptop doesn't have a floppy drive

  • Great video, thanks for the help (liked, subbed). Very good to be run through step by step visually instead of a wall of text from most tech-help sites. Only problem is, no windows xp installation disc and no means to make 6 floppy discs, can the file be downloaded to a disc instead?

  • what if i don't have a floppy disk? would i be able to save it on a USB drive? plz reply :)

  • What do you do if you can't even get the Windows CD to run? I restart the PC and the monochromatic screen asks me if I want to start in Safe Mode, etc. with a countdown. Any option I choose leads me to the blue screen. How do I start the CD from there?

  • I'm fucked then. My PC was custom build, it came as is, no disc... PC's suck man..

  • No help fucker explain better

  • window's cd? like the installation cd?

  • OMFG OMFG OMFG ! THANK YOU SO MUCH ! GOD DAMIT THANKS !

  • Hey , my computer ( Emachiens 350) I know its old BUT! when i put in my xp disc the disc drive looks like its working but it wont read; I have tried everything to fix bsod no joke you name it new harddrive,Safe mode ( which i cant get into), changing bios boot order even attemping to load ubuntu 10.10 will not work . Sorry this is long .

    NOTE: Unmountable _Boot_Volume

    What do i do! Like I said i have literally tried every method but still it dosen't work!

    I cant even enter safe mode. THANKYOU!

  • I don't know if I can get myself the original cd I used to install my XP so is it possible to use a different CD? I assume based on this video that you don't need a key of any kind to access the installation for recovery console (the person in possession of the installation cd has lost the key to the cd, or that's what she said, at least)

  • Thanks mate, awesome guide and works like a bomb :)

  • I HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM ON MY WINDOWS 7 LAPTOP PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! ALL I GOT ARE 5 RECOVERY DISKS AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO USE THEM.

  • what if i have windows 7 wtf do i do?

  • The problem that I'm having is that I have to use the 6 floppy disks because the computer I'm working on, the cd-rom drive is damaged and when I get to the final disk the blue screen appears. It will not allow me to get to the "welcome to setup" screen in order to use the recovery console which is where I've been trying to get to so that i can fix the corrupted registry. Any advice?

  • what happens if you dont have the xp cd???????????

  • @garymcmanus2 Try and get disk form your computer manufacture . They are called recovery disk or reinstall disk. Depends on the manufacture you have if you have a dell computer they will gladly send you disk. But if you have Emachine they are dicks trust me I have had to deal with them in the first 2 minutes on the phone the guy was yelling at me. and will not send you a disk. If you are trying to get your computer fixed it is sooo much easier with the disk then the floppy disk method.

  • @xJINGLESx99 i just used hiren

  • My old computer is in a boot loop. It's been like that since 2009. I checked the blue error code by looking at another video tutorial, and it is an Unmountable_Boot_Volume code. I downloaded the file your provided. Can I burn the 6 files to a CD?

  • Ok, I do not have a XP disc... I ran a hard drive diagnostics test and it came back as code 7. I have a Dell Optiplex gx620. Is there anything that I can do to fix this w/o the disc. Also I have read that code 7 is a hard drive failure, I also read it is read failure. Can someone tell me what code 7 is? If someone could help me out it'd be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • what if i have no slot for floppy disks in my computer???what can i use???

  • I don't have the XP CD as the computer did not come with one but I made the six floppies and get as far as the Recovery Console.

    It starts off with

    1: H:\MiniNT

    2: H:\i386

    Which do I pick?

    It does not ask for a password and when I type in chkdsk /r it comes up with the following message

    AUTOCHK.EXE could not be loacted in either the startup directory or the CDROM drive.

    Type the full path (inculding drive letter) for the location of AUTOCHK.EXE:

    What do I do?

    Thank you.

  • I have this message on Windows Vista. Does this work for Vista?

  • if chkdsk /r command does not work, you can also try fixboot

    I found both work, and usually this unmountable boot volume error occurs on many of the laptops I have seen. Not many desktops, which is awkward.

  • Cheers mate, had this problem with my sons pc last week. All sorted now.

    Great video.

  • when i try to boot from cd rom drive it gives me an error message plz help and im on different computer

  • What i do if i have a netbook (no disk tray nor floppy disk slot)?

  • You Are A GENIUS!!!! I Cant Begin To Explain How Helpful Your Info Was, Wow Is All I have To Say....I produce music as a hobby and had my computer crash about 4 months ago. I figured the hard drive became corrupt but also figured there would be no way i myself could retrieve the info off the HD. So i put both production and my comp aside until i gathered the money to have a professional retrieve the data off my HD...Some might say why pay all that money to have the data recovered?

  • i do not have a boot disc and no floppy's i just downloaded norton and restarted and got this error and would appreciate to know how to fix it if this doesnt help . please message back

  • help me i got no sond

  • My laptop gave me this message a few days ago. put the windows xp prof. cd in the drive, restarted it, but this same error comes up no matter what I do. Safe mode doesn't work.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, I just don't have the funds right now to take it to a professional. I would consider replacing the hard drive, have had this laptop for 6 years, backed up my files recently. I just need to extend it's life a bit longer until I am in a financial position to replace it. Thank you!

  • i dont know how i got it but when i start my cp

  • If everything here doesn't work, does it mean I'm screwed? Earlier today my brother tripped on the cord of my mothers netbook, sending it to a harsh meeting with the floor, and ever since it's been BSODing on startup with this error. I've already tried these things before seeing this video, but I am using the USB recovery console you helped us make in another video.

    Is there anything else I can do?

    I just have one question, do all of the drivers nescessary for my computer come with this CD? I have them downloaded and installed i was just curious. Because if my driver was the problem could I just use this to reinstall the correct drivers for my computer? Thanks, cheers.

  • I just had this one in Windows 7. I fixed it by going to last good configuration.

    1:d:\minint i know thats my recovery partition but i cant see the c:\windows its not in the Option list like you have it in the video

  • so you only have recovery partition?

  • I used this Fix about two times in two months thanks for making this it really helped.

  • Your welcome

  • Britec, I tried everything about the unmounted problems and it still can't boot...any other solution?

    I tried the chkdsk /r and /p...fixboot and fixmbr......i even tried the bootcfg /add...rebuild...nothing work...i'm depressed...

  • This can also happen when you use the wrong IDE cable to connect it. If your computer uses an Ultra Direct Memory Access (UDMA) hard disk controller, and you use a standard 40-wire connector cable to connect the UDMA drive, you may experience this error. Make sure you are using the correct IDE cable.

  • If all else fails, you can take it to a repair shop and they can fix it for for probably $100-300 depending on the shop. And if it fails there, you just have to get a new computer.

  • I followed the steps but when i write fixboot and the question pops up i type y but nothing happens the same thing comes up again ive tried both /p and /r please help!

  • whats the error your getting

  • No error message, but the problem remains.

  • i have a laptop , can i download and put it on a cd an it will work?

  • Hay Britec09 do i download & make the floppy's with another computer & put them into the broken one? Also, would that mess with the computer im making the floppy disks on?

    Thanks in advance =]

  • just download my recovery console iso. check out my recovery console video downloads on that video

  • Brian, I downloaded the Recovery Console image onto the CD, the Windows Setup screen loaded, and right when the screen to enter the CHKDSK code, I get another BSOD with a different kind of error. Did I miss a step? Is there anything else I can do to recover my data? Thank you!

  • Theres alot of ways to recover data, take the drive out and put in as slave in another machine or use one of these, UBCD4WIN, UBCD, VISTAPE, LINUX, Windows ON USB, CLONEZILLA etc etc

  • uerm how u do it omg i cant read cd on my computer it has no cd driver pls help me how i do this usb??

  • use the recovery console i ripped its in one of my videos call recovery

  • btw how do copy the file in Floppys?

  • you dont need floppys

  • Do u really need Floopy Disks? cause i got XP and its doesnt load....btw its in Spanish :S

  • Thank you so much Brian. This really works, it only takes about 15 minutes in total to do. You saved us from having to get the Geek Squad involved and you saved us alot of money. I really appreciate you taking the time to give this advice to everyone. You rock....Thanks again...

  • No probs glad i saved you money, now go and treat yourself to something nice :)

  • Is it suppose to take a long time to recover?

  • How long is long time 1, 2, 3 hours if so then no, it should be quicker than that.

  • hi i tried this but then i get stuck n get a screen saying "setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your compueer ...setup cannot continue" what now?

  • Thats not good, have you backed all your data up?

  • I have seen the /P switch but in the CHKDSK program help screen there is no /P switch.. what does the /P switch do ??

  • /p = option instructs chkdsk to perform an extensive check of the drive and correct any errors.

  • GRAWR! do i HAVE to use a floppy disk? because im on a laptop and i cant stick a floppy disk into the laptop.. but i do have blank CD.. can i use that?

  • use my recovery console rip, check out my videos and download it

  • Hi,

    Thanks for the video. However, apparently I have an administrator password--but the person who set it up is no longer with the company!!

    Am I doomed, or is there a way around the administrator password (I am the owner of the machine, but he put windows xp pro on because he said our network required it.

    Thanks for your help!

  • I think the cd you have is a recovery cd, look at my videos, you want the video that is about recovery console, download recovery console from that description and burn it to cd and try again.

    and its a HP computer what can i do?

  • well if you have this error follow the video.

  • check out my videos and your see a video about recovery console which I ripped out of a windows xp cd only 7 meg file size

  • Hey thanks a lot man, I really appreciate it.

    I would usually just reinstall windows whenever an error message came up.

    Your video really helped.

  • no worries mate, glad it helped you out.

  • I remembered it, the correct name is "autochk.exe" and not "chkdks.exe", sorry but I did not have my computer at that time

  • Well try same thing see if file is missing and replace it if it is.

  • Thanks friend, but I have only a question, I have already followed your steps but my computer said me: "Does not exist the chk.exe file, please write the localization on this disk with the unit" or something that, What can I do?.

  • what chkdsk.exe does not exist? best thing to do is check the path where the files lives and see if the file is there by typing DIR see if file is listed.

    path should be c:\windows\system32

    if its missing maybe a virus or somthing, just copy a new one from windows cd ok

    Hope this helps you out.

    I think you just saved me 200+ dollars :)

  • Glad I could help mate, Just rate this video if it helped you out :) and subscribe to my channel.

  • Would recovery console wipe out my hard drive?

  • Windows Recovery Console off the Windows XP CD will not wipe your hard drive, unless you want it to?

    Do not enter recovery console partition to recover windows, that is for recovering you computer back to factory settings. boot to windows xp cd and enter recovery console that way.

    Hope this helps you out
