I went to the website you mentioned 'damn...' and to Knoppix. I am really confused on these resources and how to download and/or use them to recover my stuff. If you have time, please advise more on these resources. I would really appreciate it.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Scott </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/xp-error-unmountable-boot-volume#post-36762 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 22:32:23 +0000 mysticgeek 36762@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Use a Linux Live CD such as <a href='http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/'>http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/</a> or Knoppix</p> <p>Then you will be able to see your HDD and you can copy files to an external Drive. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/xp-error-unmountable-boot-volume#post-36747 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 21:44:37 +0000 rnscott 36747@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Hello<br /> I need assistance booting up my XP computer--gives error 'unmountable boot volume'. I really just want to recover data, like pics and music to back up. I then can reformat hard drive and start over if need be. I have tried MS recovery console but dose not work, error 'UBV' again. I dont have floopy XP start up disks to try it that way. ANd do not have a computer that has a floopy drive where I could download the startup disks. I only have a newer laptop with DVD drive. My XP computer is a desktop PC about 4 years old and that is the one I need to recover, any ideas??</p> <p>I would appreciate any help.</p> <p>Thanks </p>
