UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME - Pk4 File
May 8, 2005I'm in a world of hurt. I ran windows defrag on my machine which has a 160GB SATA hard drive. It's a Dell machine and I'd never run defrag on it before. I left the computer and came back to find it at 45% on some .pk4 file and went to bed. When I came back to it the next morning, it was still frozen at that so I stopped the defragmenter, closed it, and tried to reopen it but it was going realllly slow. So rebooted, and was greeted with a blue error screen with UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME and a buch of hex keys. So went through a lot of trouble but ended up installing an internal floppy drive so that I could run windows recovery console with the SATA drivers and the Windows cd. I got in (without having to enter a password or select by windows installation) and ran chkdsk /p. When it finished, it didn't do much, just told be how big the hard drive was and that it had errors on it. So I rebooted into windows to find out what the error code was, and for some weird reason it sucessfully booted into XP. It's still really messed up (hangs, crashes, etc.) but it at least boots up.

Aug 15, 2005I seem to have bad luck with multiple partitions on one drive. I have a 160 gb hdd that was partitoned with one approx 137gb partition with windows xp. It was working fine. I decided to partition the remaining space which was something like 25gb. I did it from windows xp in the disk managment snap-in. It worked fine until I formatted the new 25gb partition and assigned the page file to this drive. I had not rebooted before formatting the new drive and I believe the format is what screwed up the drive. I have tried to chkdsk /r but it took forever and then crashed. I believe windows improperly sized the partition over part of the original C partition. I really hate logical drives. I always seem to have some sort of data loss with them..

Dec 2, 2004I went out of town for 2 weeks, came home and my pc is acting really strange. I've been getting tons of pop-ups, to the point my computer freezes and i must restart. Not only that but it randomly reboots itself even when not being used. Also, when i go to delete files now, the file does NOT go into the recycle bin. I looked at the settings and there is no check mark next to the "do not move files into recycle bin". My BF said he had been downloading things so I figured maybe its a virus or something. I ran Nortons... nothing. Ran AVG... nothing. A friend told me it sounded like spyware so he told me to run Adaware & Spybot. Did that, found a ton of stuff. But when i retarted the pc, it wanted to start in "safe mode". I noticed that most of these pop ups are (search miracle ??) Found info that its a trojan, but i dont know. . I dont know what to do, totally computer illiterate.

Sep 17, 2007I am building a new PC for my in-laws. However they are giving me their old PC, which I will be using to install Linux on and use as a learning tool for myself.The problem comes in that they would like to use their XP Home license on the new machine. The old machine is a Compaq, and Compaq only supplies rescue disks.not an actual XP disk.Is there anyway for me to get their legally owned copy of XP onto their new machine without them having a store bought XP Home disk? I do have access to a XP Home disk, is it possible to do the install with that, and just enter their Product Key, or will that be recognized as an incorrect Product Key?

Nov 21, 2009I encrypted a folder with Windows encryption. This was on an old computer and it is now dead; motherboard is fried, hard drives are still fine though. I have a new computer now, with much newer, but similar hardware.I have the old hard drives in my new machine, so I can access all my old files, but I cant get into the encrypted folder, obviously. There isn't anything wrong with the Windows install, it's still there and I'd be able to boot into I if it was on the old hardware, but I'm not.What I want to do is boot into my old XP install on my new hardware to recover these encrypted files. I've tried booting already, but it either bluescreens and restarts before starting windows, or it just restarts without a bluescreen. The hardware is just too different.
