Hardware / unmountable boot volume XP

« on: August 03, 2003, 03:20:52 PM »

Hi folks,

guess I've got a big problem with my 30GB Maxtor HD EIDE.Currently I see only the error code

"unmountable boot volume..... stop:0x000000ED (0x81FE2AA8,0xC0000185,0x00000000,0x00000000)

when XP boots even in protected mode, and the drive klacks occasionally (is it the socalled headcrash?). I've already tried chkdsk, chkdsk/p, chkdsk/r, fixboot, nothing helped.With chkdsk/r and chkdsk/p it appears "..seems to have at least one unsolvable problem , with fixboot it appears "bootsector is corrupted.The bootsector could not be repaired".
Is there any hope to recover and access the data on it? It remained only 370 MB on the drive, as I recall.Is there anybody to give me some help?
Thx in advance
