unmountable boot volume

HO87

Did you burn the image to the CD/DVD or did you simply copy the .iso file to the disc? There is a distinct difference. In some burners you may also need to select the "make disc bootable" option.

Thanks for the help guys....

Its all starting to make some sense, I just copied the file thinking it would work.....

So.....how do i burn the image file so that it does work???

superrug_2

Everyone has there own preferences of burning software, i always Imgburn.

download free from http://www.imgburn.com/

and when you start the program just burn image to disk. The image itself should already be bootable

Thanks,
currently in the process of installing, few options that I've kinda guessed at so hopefully it will work out.
Formatting a partition at the moment....whatever that means

What??? I wasn't suggesting that you ~install~ it! Just boot from it and run it as a LiveCD so you can see what's on the hard disk, with a view to fixing it so that XP will run again. Oh well, I guess that may be too late now.

Never mind, you'll probably like Ubuntu anyway...

Ah well, not sure how to run it as a cd??? but we'll see how this goes (taking ages)
BTW, its not ubuntu i'm installing its xp.

think I've gone and done it now!!!
It asked me something about a partition and I chose to delete it. Now when trying to run the disc it says
"The file usbccgp.sys is corrupted. press any key to continue" and then Setup failed press any key to restart your computer.

Have I Broke it???

When i attempt to boot from disk i get set up loading files then it says
file kbdclass.sys caused an unexpected error(12544) at line 3242 in d:\xpsp\base\boot\setup\setup.c.
press any key to continue

setup failed press any key to restart your computer.

Help Please?????

Help Please?????

Probably caused by incompatible driver, i guess the cd you are using is not the Lappy's original recovery disc. Unless you have the disc/driver then that option is not going to help, you may end trying to install linux or search for a driver (I cannot remember if XP asks for driver installs before continuing)

I haven't got the original disc, so think I'll need to try Linux but have ran out of blank CD/r's with all my stupid messing about. Seems to select a different .sys file that causes the problem every time i try.

Thanks for the help.
