Hey guys. I'm trying to fix my pc as it will not boot up windows. It comes up with a blue screen saying UNMOUNTABLE volume error, or something like that. I ran a chkdsk and it came up with the failed to transfer 50 messages error thing. I have no idea what to do to fix my pc. Please help me.
 
Hi

Did you start up in safe mode to run chkdsk ?
This only checks file system not boot manager and MBR

Do you have the original Windows 7 DVD ?
or have access to another Windows 7 PC (if your is 64 bit Windows 7 so must other PC be 64 bit)
So you can make a Windows System Repair Disk
tutorial at
http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-create-a-windows-7-system-repair-disc-for-emergency-use/

Either can be used to repair some Windows Start up problems but not a disk with physical damage

No, I had to use the command option. I ran it off a windows 7 home premium disk 64 bit I borrowed off of my friend to fix the pc. The problem started after I shut down a game by ending some processes. It ended up freezing the pc and I had to turn it off and when I restarted it, it would not boot.
 
Hi

Hi I hope you have a 64 bit Windows 7
(exact match to Home, pro or enterprise is not so important)

Did you go through the fix startup options as well as chkdsk ?

You need to record exact error messages and what program generated error message

often Googling error messages finds solution

one is
http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2605/fixing_the_dreaded_unmountable_boot_volume_error/

Chkdsk /R C:

when that finishes note any errors

reboot off Windows DVD and run

Chkdsk /R C:
again
(sometimes necessary if lots of file system corruption)

See if you can start in safe mode
(F8 just after bios messages finish, note F8 also used by BIOS in some cases)


best of luck

So I did another disk check on C: (I did a dskchk on a different drive before because windows isn't installed on c. For me it is E.) the error it came up with was "Failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 50.
