Help!!! T61 Blue Screen--unmountable boot volume-- error code 0000: Read verification failed

My computer is T61 (8891CT), but Blue Screen came out and reported--unmountable boot volume.  I ran the diagnostic program and got the error code 0000: Read verification failed. I can’t run anything now including the restore and rescue.  Has the hard drive died?
If the hard drive has died, I have to change the hard drive, but how to transfer the system (I don’t have any CD) and think vantage software? Thank you very much for you help.

Hi equalefk,
Yes, definitely sounds like it's time to replace the HDD.
Hope it helps.

  • X 100e ERROR CODE 0000: READ VERIFICATION FALEID

    recently bought a notebook X100e nothing appears when I turn, I entered the setup and asked for an analysis on the hard drive and appeared the following: ERROR CODE 0000: READ VERIFICATION FAILED.

    Welcome to the forum!
    Your hard drive is failing. Contact Lenovo for a replacement, presuming the machine is still under warranty.
    Good luck.

  • X201 - Error Code 0000: Read Verificati​on Failed

    Hi All
    for the last 2 weeks i have seen a rise in X201 laptops with "Error Code 0000: Read Verification Failed" we have about 500 of these laptops in the comapany, we started roling them out about a year ago and now we are getting about 10 a week come back with this error message.
    is anyone else getting this error? is this a design fault with the hard drive? any info would be good
    Thanks

    I have replaced HD's on two of these for clients.  On one I was able to run DFT to check it and clone the recovery partition with Acronis.  The other one I could do nothing with.

  • R61 R&R won't start after "unmountable boot volume" error

    Hello all,
    New user, first post - after problem, of course.
    I have an R61 Thinkpad with Windows XP on it.  (SP2 or SP3, not sure).  Has worked flawlessly for years, then the other day I got the dreaded "unmountable boot volume" error and it would not start.
    No problem - I re-start, hit the ThinkVantage button, then hit F11 to use the R&R hidden on a separate partition of the hard drive........I get the black screen with the big progress bar, ok, then a blue screen......then nothing.  Hangs up and sits there.  I have repeated this about 5 times now.
    No problem! - I was smart enough to make an R&R CD set a while ago!  Put the primary R&R disk in the CD drive, start the machine, ThinkPad button, F12 this time to choose boot from CD.....much CD activity ensues and I once again get the black screen with the big progress bar.  It takes much longer, and I get teh blue screen - BUT - then it goes one extra step to display the "ThinkVantage Rescue & Recovery 4" screen with the life preserver image.
    Excellent, I thing - except it then hangs there.  Just sits there.  No disk activity.  No keys will do anything.
    I can find no threads here or on any other forum with this particular issue.
    Am I fubar?  Or is there something else I can do?
    Thanks a bunch.
    Solved!

    Hi jim, welcome to the forums,
    Is the hard drive recognised in BIOS, was there an entry in the boot list against HDD0?
    Regardless of it being shown in BIOS / boot list or not, the first thing I would do is to reseat the hard drive and see if that helps, maybe over time it's lost contact to the mainboard socket. If you don't know how to do this you can find out at the R61 movies site.
    The next thing I would do is run a hard drive diagnosis check from a bootable cd, these can be downloaded from all HDD manufacturer's websites e.g. Hitachi's Drive Fitness Test.  It may be that the drive has simply gone bad after all those years of work.
    Let us know how you get on

  • Unmountable boot volume error blue screen

    I have a toshibia laptop that has crashed, I am eventually getting the unmountable_boot_volume error blue screen, the recovery disks that i ordered will not work, just disk 1 loads windows file then goes to a black screen with the cursor pointer, computer repair does the same thing, os is windows 7 satellite c655d-s5120 64 bit the bios does show the hard drive name and the boot log is showing the last driver loaded is windows/system 32/drivers/atipcie.sys, can I order a recovery for the windows 7 or is there any other ideas to fix this?not sure why this is happening

    If you've already ordered a set of recovery discs, you probably don't need to order another one. While it's possible that the discs are bad (and maybe you should call customer support just to see what they say), it's also possible that you have a hardware failure of some sort.

  • Unmountable Boot Volume error message appears

    Hi.
    On monday I bought Norton Internet Security 2007 and tried to install it. I was reading a word document while I was installing it. I received an error message and was asked to restart Windows XP.
    When I tried to restart Windows XP. I received a message telling me there was an error that caused Windows to shut down. The message ask me to choose between:
    1.safe mode
    2.safe mode with command prompt
    3.last know good configuration
    4.start windows normally.
    I choose "start windows normally"
    MS Windows XP started normally for a few seconds then instead of my normally log on page I received a blue screen with this message:
    "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
    UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
    if this is the first time you have seen this error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again follow these steps.
    If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching and shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press f8 to select start up options, and then select safe mode.
    Technical information:
    STOP: 0x00000ED (0x80E(1E30, 0xC000031, 0X000000000) "
    And the then my computer shut down and then restart in the same sequence.
    IT keep repeating the sequence: error message safe mode ect ect then blue screen, shut down and restart. Again and mo matter which mode I choose. I went on online(from a borrowed computer) to research what is going on with my notebook and I still have the problem. They told me I must uninstall the software that caused the problem. My question is have can I uninstall the software when I can't reach Window's log on and hence the control panel?
    I'm at my wits end. Please help.

    Hi
    I dont know why but it seems that your master boot sector is damage
    You could try to access the repair console (boot from original windows CD and then press R)
    Then try to use this command: chkdsk /p
    This command should repair some sectors on the HDD. Maybe it helps.
    If not then you should format the whole HDD and reinstall the OS again!

  • Blue screen shows and this error code shows up 0x1900101 - 0x4000D

    The  installation starts correctly to a state where the blue screen shows and restores windows to its previous state and gives this error code  0x1900101 - 0x4000D

    Hi,
    For error information:
    0xC 1900101- 0x4000D - MOSETUP_E_SETUP_PLATFORM
    This can happen during the data migration phase in the second boot.
    You can send your rollback logs to me, I would look into it to see if we can find something.

  • Unmountable Boot Volume error

    After installing windows on my mac ive tried toget into it again but a blue error screen appears with UNMOUNTABLEBOOTVOLUME. I cant seem to switch back to mac as i didnt have the latests service package i needed to install it anyway so i turned off nmy computer to see if i could switch back to mac but i cant and that error just comes up for windows. Any clues on how to fix the problem?

    I am having similar issues, but I'm still working on the main reason for the problem. We are trying to install Windows XP from our network installation system using WinPE.
    If I format the drive as GUID partition table XP crashes with the UNMOUNTABLEBOOTVOLUME error...pretty much sounds like the installer doesn't understand GUID even though it is an XP Professional Service Pack 2 install base.
    If I format the drive as an MBR partition table XP will load fine, but then I have the issues where the OS and OS chooser screen don't see the Windows partition as a bootable partition, and then I have to use rEFIt to boot into Windows.
    If I install Windows XP from the same CD that I created the network install source files from the OS will load just fine on a GUID partition table.
    So I, too, am having this same problem, but I'm trying to figure out what's different between the source CD and how the network install tools for unattended deployment change it.
    You are using an install CD that is Windows XP with Service Pack 2, correct?

  • Unmountable Boot Volume on XP and screen goes blank before repair begins

    The XP Windows partition was seemingly working fine until I turned on the laptop this afternoon. Took a minute or so longer to boot than usual and I was prompted when it did load to update Acrobat, which I did and it rebooted. Took longer to boot, perhaps two or three minutes and I received an Unmountable Boot Volume error. I rebooted a few more times, same result. I tried system restore to three previous dates over past ten days and was told after attempted reloading that it had failed and I should try another day. Worried about my data, I went to safe mode to back up C: drive.
    The general advice from MS is to use the Windows installation CD to repair the boot sector. With the CD in, Windows will boot and show my normal desktop and files, though will on perhaps the third item to load to memory, the screen goes blank and the loading seems to continue, as I hear sounds though not sure if it is the programs or the repair.
    There does seem to be an ability for it to boot, just not maintain it through full load. Any suggestions short of reinstalling windows would be welcomed. Thank you.

    I was unistalling some usless programs when my laptop died & when I turned it on I had unmountable boot volume 0x000000ED (the blue screen)
    If I hit repair windows it goes to a black screen with the mouse (nothing else)
    Now I tried f8 & then did command prompt but after it had gone to the loading files screen it had gone back to the blue screens with unmountable boot volume 0x000000E
    I DL windows 7 repair but how do I get it to install when I cant get past the blue screen?
    so i decide to repair it my self and then i found this great solution what helps me

  • Unmountable Boot Volume, need help. trying to fix the problem via lan if posible?

    any information i could recieve from Geek Squad would be appreciated.  i have my computer purchased from best buy that i'm happy with, but my cousin's computer died with the unmountable boot volume error.  i want to use my computer to fix his, or if possible fix his directly from the internet.  any assisstance in this would be nice. thank you.

    Hi AngeNeedsHelp!
    I hope your cousin got the computer fixed. However,
    this Unmountable Boot Volume error is not always fixed by simply reinstalling
    the Operating System (OS). In fact, you may need to back up the drive using an
    external USB Hard Drive Enclosure.  Even
    then the drive may not be readable if there are physical errors/damage, and
    this is nearly impossible to do over the internet since they likely cannot boot
    the computer?  If there is important
    information on the drive I would recommend taking it to a professional such as Geek
    Squad® before attempting anything.  Best
    of luck!

  • Unmountabl​e Boot Volume error in Z61T

    Hi Members,
    I just encountered the the Error Unmountable Boot volume error(Blue Screen)  in my Z61T Think pad laptop. 
    I'm not sure what caused this error. Is it possible to fix the error?
    I tried to go in to Recovery Console using XP CD and then repair the OS, but unfortunately when i go to repair mode i get another error which says unable to recognize the hard drive. Im really confused as of what is the exact problem with my laptop and also im worried about that data.
    appreciate if anyone can throw some light in to the issue and help me out in fixing the same.
    Thanks
    Rajesh

    If you believe that your hard disk/file system may be corrupted, try using any bootable diagnostic cd.They are operating system independent and will let you know if your HDD is getting corrupted.
    Try the data life guard diagnostics(bootable).
    Cheers and regards,

  • T61- Blue Screen - - reporting unmountable boot volume

    Hi,
    I recently updated my T61 with the usual updates, but accidentally unpluged my computer before the updates were complete.  My computer was running on AC adapter alone because my battery was dead.  Now I have a new battery and when I turn my computer on it tells me that it was not shut down properly, but windows will be starting.  The start screen for windows XP shows up and after a few mins. the blue screen pops up and says something about unmountable boot volume.  I don't want to recover/resart my computer because I will lose data.  Can anyone help with this problem?
    Thanks!!!! 

    No this process should not lose your data. If you can boot your machine from CD or otherwise you might be able to access the hard drive and transfer your data to a flash drive. I'll look for a better explanation on getting your machine to boot. Unless someone here might help with that.
