BSOD On Boot, Unmountable_boot_volume
Dec 24, 2011
I'll make it long story short. I had turned off some unnecessary things in msconfig like some of the pre-loaded vaio software that I never used, but realized I had turned off the service that allows me to change the volume, brightness, etc...so I turned that back on in msconfig, and restarted. What has been happening since is it will BSOD at the windows loading screen, right before the screen where it asks for your password. It will say "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_DEVICE" I have tried starting in safe mode, safe mode with command prompt, safe mode with networking, last known good configuration, and normally. I've also tried the "repair your computer" option in the advanced boot options, and when that loads, it just opens a low resolution windows background and shows the mouse on the screen forever. I even let it sit all night to see if it was just being horrendously slow and it was still just a blank screen with the mouse. I also made a windows repair CD on my home PC and tried using that, and it still does not repair it. I can't even boot my laptop anymore. It's a Windows 7 Home Premium x64 Sony Vaio VPCCW17FX, I just reformatted it back in august?

I was just browsing as usual on my laptop when I was hit with the error message: 0x000000ED (0xFFFFFA8004AA8CD0,0xFFFFFFFFC0000185, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000 I have tried restarting and booting into safe mode, tried using the repair option that i am given upon startup, tried booting from the windows 7 installation cd. None of these options work, meaning, as far as I can tell, I cannot check disk.I'm running a Dell Studio XPS 1645 laptop, just over a year old (unfortunately on a standard 1 year warranty).

Wont boot into safe mode or original windows OS disc (which worked previously).I'm Using UBCD, never had a hard disk problem, never had memory problems.Disk is accessible using G-parted and all files are still there. The only thing i have noticed once the error started is that the label on my local disk (c) changed to blank but i then changed it back and still nothing, also made sure that my windows partition was set to "boot". I'm assuming its partition editing that i must do, but don't know where to start exactly, and I'm also assuming that it was a registry cleanup that caused this error.

this laptop suddenly strayed exhibiting boot failure, specifically an unmountable boot volume error. F11 to get to system recovery results in a desktop but nothing else except a mouse cursor that moves. I cant tell if this is 32 or 64 bit w7 it does not say on the sticker. I tried to boot form a w7 recovery disk both 32 and 64 disk) and it is really slow, it asks for a keyboard type and then seems to do nothing.
Was wondering if there was a way to do a system restore form a dos prompt in W7? Nothing on the machine that need saving.

My Windows 7 64 bit machine will not boot. It keeps going into Windows System recovery mode. I have tried that multiple times and rebooted each time but no luck.System specs - Windows 7 64 bit, 16gb ram. Core i7-920 with 12 gb ram. This is an OEM disc that I bought from comp store, all parts and OS are less than three years old. C: drive - windows install a few apps, Drive 1 - games and music,
1) tried looking up this error with instructions. online instructions have had me go into the command prompt to perform edits on the c: windowsSystem32 folder. These do not come up in my prompt on my c: drive - where windows in installed. See program files etc, but no Windows32 folder.
2) already have run the c: chkdsk /r to try and fix the disc. It went through everything and comes back saying there are no problems. Still cannot boot to windows either get BSOD mentioned above or recovery mode.
3) Cannot go to previous restored state (one of the choices ) as it states that I have no restore points although I know that I have established at least 2 in the last 2-3 months
4) Tried inserting the Windows 7 disc and running repair from there but it just takes me to the same Windows system recovery mode which still does not work.
5) I tried hitting F8 during boot to go into safe mode but no good. it only takes me to a screen which gives me the option for boot order.
6) run the memory test from recovery console - no problems.
I have read the BSOD thread but everything there seems to assume that you can already boot into Windows at sometime and download the exe to run. (I cannot get into windows at all)Does anyone have any suggestions? I built this one myself (4th build) and have never in the 10 years of using Windows had a problem which I could not get into at least safe mode.I can go to maybe until this weekend but need to use my computer by Saturday cob.If I have had no luck at that point i will have to reinstall windows (it is on its own harddrive with most all of my applications on separate drives. So that may be a small blessing.I have had no strange occurrences while using the computer which is on pretty much 24/7.Is this what happens when a harddrive crashes? This one is about 2.5 years old and there have been no warning signs that something was amiss (no clicking etc)

What is happening is each cold boot of the computer, I will ALWAYS BSOD within the first few minutes, after the mouse starts to lag really bad and skip around. If i IMMEDIATELY restart the computer, it will literally run for weeks without a hiccup.I have replaced nearly every part of my rig minus the CPU and Memory. I've put in a new MOBO, SSD/SATA drives, Video card, Power supply. Flashed the BIOS with the latest version. The only thing left is the CPU.I've recently ran the windows memory diagnostics everything passed fine, but I've bought new memory just in case - will try that tonight.

today i got a BSOD that said:Windows has shut down to prevent damage to computer.I couldn't get the dump file because i cannot boot it.All i did before was plugged in a new headset before even booting it.The biggest issue comes that i can't boot windows 7 from cd/dvd.It stops at windows boot screen.Same happens when booting from CD / DVD.( I am not overclocking )I just had 2 more blue screens i didn't had enough time to read it but it says BAD_HEADER (while booting in safe mode)and IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ( booting in normal mode)

So I'm not sure where to start. I can't get into windows to attach a log on here. I swapped out almost every piece of hardware. Sometimes the windows loading screen freezes and I need to shut it down myself and sometimes it doesn't but that's where I end up with the blue screens or it reboots itself right as it tries to load windows. I've been getting mainly 124 and x09c errors. It crashed in the middle of playing battlefield3. I was able to log onto windows maybe 3-4 times before it wouldn't even let me get close

I'm having problems with my brothers PC, a few months ago everything was fine, the we added 2 Gb RAM and suddenly it was frozen, ok restarted and once in a while he got that kind of problems, sudden freezes or reboots, then one day it won't boot showing a BSOD regarding win32k.sys and another with MEMORY_MANAGEMENT and finally evolved to BAD_CONFIG_SYSTEM_INFO. it just won't start, did the chkdsk as suggested by a live ubuntu CD and it was a 4 day chkdsk, at least after that I was able to see my files in ubuntu. Tried everything with the recovery options and none worked.
Well that's the background, I reisntalled Win7 in a new HDD and after a few days this time tested the system for a week with the original 2 RAM sticks, after that a one of the new stick was installed and everything went fine for another 2 week till it had boot problems, after trying to do things with the repair options again I was able to get in the disk so I could backup with Ubuntu, saved info but win still wont start, and then it appeared as if it wasn't formatted, so I installed XP in another disk and tried to open the disk, it wasnt formatted so I run chkdsk and the disk was fine again, restart and this time there was no Bootmgr (dont know what happened, I installed XP with the other disk unplugged) so I copied it from the installation disk and it loaded windows (with the vista animation... repaired with a line code from a win blog) and again everything was running again nicely.
A few days ago it happended again, this time while windows has loading (orbs) the tablet started blinking and nothing happended, reboot, safe mode, reboot and everything ok.
Today, it stopped right after the orbs animation, just right before the login, 1 minute and nothing happened, so reboot and asked for chkdsk, once it was complete, it tool about 30 min to load the desktop and it was unusable I let it load for an hour it loaded gadgets but still unusable tried to click something and it gave me a terminate process window, so again reboot and now every partition needed chkdsk, if cancelled the BAD_CONFIG_SYSTEM_INFO prompted, I wasn't able to even start from XP it displayed disk error at bios, then again tried with win 7 and this time the and let it finish chkdsk in the installation unit, it finally started but I cant access 3 of 4 partitions in the other disk, only the one with XP installed.
Right now I'm trying to recover the other partitions with the chkdsk in the cmd, but I don't have a clue of what is happening.
What I know is:
- The two RAM sticks installed right now are fine, worked fine before the new ones.
- The slow windows loading could be caused due some driver, in this case I've read quicktime uses the same path as the wacom tablet and add a semicolon everytime it updates but don't know exactly what that means. My brother installed quicktime through a download manager from softonic the day before the problem happened again (the repaired installation). Deactivated QT update and worked for a few days till now.
Right now I was able to recover 3 of 4 partitions, the one I couldn't recover was the one with the previous installation (before the new HDD), it says the MFT is damaged and chkdsk can't continue, how can I fix that?
I don't know what might cause the problem, might be the old HDD? Some driver? What can be the cause for those chkdsks? I tried a lot of things, right now even powering off the PSU with the back switch (after shutting down win of course) looks suspicious.
The PC specs are:
AMD Phenom II 965BE
MoBo Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H
2 1Gb Kingston RAM
Gigabyte ATI Radeon 5770
1 WD SATA 2 500 Gb (old installation broken MFT in one partition)
2 WD SATA 3 500 Gb (new one with current installation)
CM Silent Pro 600W PSU

Recently my computer has been randomly just giving me the BSOD. Normally this problem was resolved by a simple restart but tonight about an hour before I posted this, the blue screen sent me back to startup but instead of giving me the usual "Security mode" and Regular Startup. It gave me Startup Repair and normal startup. After clicking normal startup just to see if it would correct itself like normal,my pc instantly BSOD'd, bringing me back to my two options. I've been sitting here staring at the startup repair screen for about an hour now.

I Have a Toshiba Portege R707 Running Windows 7 Home Prem, 64 bit. A few days ago it began getting sluggish and my wife finally told me it was frozen and would not boot. I have tried booting it to a repair disk, safe mode and using an original boot disk. It simply freezes and I am not sure how to get a copy of the BSOD as it flashes through very quickly. I am not sure why the HD filled up completely or how to eliminate some of the files/data to give windows enough room to start. I have Partition Wizard Home Edition Home Edition 7.1 and could clean it out for a restart but would like to save the Picts and Docs if possible.

Ok, my computer had been having problems before but now when i'm booting up my computer I get the blue screen that's says unmountable_boot_volume right after the starting windows screen. I cannot get windows to start in safe mode or any of the other advanced boot options. The only time I don't get the blue scren is when I try start up repair, which just causes a black screen with the cursor. I googled the problem and from what I can gather I Need a windows 7 disk to repair this problem but my problem is I have no disk nor can I get a hold of one. Is there some other way to fix it without the disk?

I have a modified HP Media Center Edition. My dad was on it and said that it crashed with a BSOD. When I rebooted it said Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter. I inserted the Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate installation disk that I had used to install this copy and the computer booted. Thee black screen with the windows logo showed before the computer did another BSOD. The message read:
"PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED-AREA". I booted the computer again and attempted to do a system repair but it said that the problem could not be repaired automatically. I was unable to do a system restore because it said no image was saved. I keep getting the BSOD every time I attempt to boot. I have not recently added any new hardware and there is nothing in the USB ports.

Late last night I was unable to start my PC (Currently browsing via my laptop). I decided to get a good night's sleep and deal with it today.The BSOD message I'm getting is:STOP 0x00000074 BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO I tried removing my current RAM and replacing it with older (but more reliable DDR3 RAM), to no avail.I also tried booting into System Repair and Safe Mode. System Repair doesn't let me use my mouse and eyboard, and Safe Mode brings me to the same BSOD. *Changed where they were plugged in an they now work I'm at my wit's end Running:Windows 7 64-bit Professional DDR3 Corsair CM3X1024 (I replaced FOR: DDR3 Corsair CML16GX3M4A1600C9 16gb)Unable to create logs because I am unable to access Safe Mode or anything else really Update 1: Replaced CM3X1024 with the original Corsair 4GBx4 RAM I had in there and I'm currently running Memtest86+

I usually have to boot my machine twice. I boot the first time, log into my (domain) account, and once windows loads, I get a BSOD. After that, if I reboot, the system works all day.
This happens if I'm bringing it out of sleep or hibernate too, but it has to be inactive for a few hours for it to give a BSOD.
I am running a Dell Latitude D620.
Windows 7 Pro 32 bit (fully licensed)
4 GB RAM
Intel T2500 2.00 GHz processor
Joined to a domain
Attached is the BSOD reports requested.

The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1420 running Windows Vista Home.When I turn on the laptop, the computer boots up and then goes to a menu where I can either choose to Start Windows Normally, or Begin Start Up Repair.Both of these options cause the computer to load for a few moments, and then it BSODs, with the error unmountable_Boot_Volume.I then tried to boot the computer off the Windows Vista install disk. It goes through Loading Windows Files, and then it begins loading Windows, and then it BSODs with the error Page_Fault_In_Nonpaged_Area. I am now stuck with what to do.Also loading the computer in safe mode also reults in a BSOD.

Attached is all of the information. This is a new build, completed on saturday with a fresh install of Windows 7. I have ran memtest86 for 4 hours, completing 4 passes with no problems. I have reinstalled all motherboard drivers. I tried using driver verifier a few days ago and was unable to boot into windows without a BSOD. Was able to boot into safe mode to disable it. Have either been browsing on firefox, idle, or in a random application during each BSOD.
I have not yet had a BSOD while in safe mode (with or without networking). The BSOD tend to happen fairly often, with the longest time in between one occurring almost 20 hours. That only happened once, however, as all the other ones occurred within 5-10 hours of the computer being turned on. The next step I was going to take if I can't get a good answer would be to either reformat or do a "repair install" which I'd have to read up on before trying it.

My motherboard is a Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 Revision 1.3, my OS is Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, my HDD is a Seagate 1.5tb, and my SSD is an OCZ Agility 3 60gb.
So i was using Intel Smart Response technology with my SSD for SSD caching, everything was pretty much working fine. The other day i flashed my bios using @BIOS without properly disabling my smart response configuration, which i probably shouldn't have done and i won't do again. When i rebooted, Intel Rapid Storage technology was acting up and when i tried to open it, it said "IAStorUI.exe has stopped working". After that, i uninstalled the program and tried to re-install it, but during the install it said "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software." After a little research, i found out that it meant that my bios was set in IDE mode instead of ACHI mode. I am not sure what the mode was before i flashed my bios, but it was probably some sort of raid that it used for SSD caching. When i went into the bios and switched from IDE to AHCI, windows would blue screen after performing a few seconds of the boot logo. I switched back to IDE, and did some research to find out about the "Start" registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetservicesmsahci. I switched that from 3 to 0, and windows was able to boot into AHCI mode and automatically got drivers. Then, i tried re-installing Intel Rapid Storage technology. It was able to install, and i rebooted my computer. It blue screened again on the same part of the boot logo as before. I had to switch back to IDE mode to get it working again. Then, i got new chipset drivers from Intel's website, which didn't help. The registry that i changed is still set to zero, but it just won't successfully boot with AHCI like it did the first time i changed the registry. I am very stumped and i dont know what i could do to make it work like it did before i flashed my bios. My friend recommended that i should reinstall windows, but then i would have to go through the trouble of getting everything back and i think there should be some way of doing this without reinstalling the os.
The bottom line is that windows blue screens when the bios is in AHCI mode, even though i have the registry that should fix that and that did fix it on one boot set to zero.
