Satellite S2450-201: Blue Screen Error - UNMOUNTABLE BOOT VOLUME

Hello,
This morning a turned on my laptop and went downstairs for breakfast when i returned to the laptop there was a blue screen in which it said the following...
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've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows uodates you might need.
If problems continue, disable or remove any new installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, Press f8 to select advanced startup options, and then select safe mode.
Technical information:
*** STOP: 0X000000ED (0X817D3130, 0XC0000032, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)
Now i have tryed restarting over and over, I have tryed Safe Mode, Safe Mode with networking, Safe Mode with command prompt, Last known good config, Start windows normally. All of which lead to the same blue screen with the same white lettered message.
I need to gain access to the computer quite soon as it contains important data. If anyone can help without me losing any data i would be very much obliged.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi
I think the easiest way to solve this problem is to recover the notebook with the delivered Toshiba recovery CD.
The boot sector can be created again on the HDD.
But you know; all data will be deleted.
If you want to save the data, you can try to remove the notebook HDD. Install it in the external USB case and connect the HDD to the other computer. Then you will be able to access the HDD and to save the data.

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.

Blue Screen error using Boot Camp when installing XP on the MacBook Pro

I have been trying to install Windows XP Professional (with SP2) on my MacBook and I keep encountering blue screen errors during the install. I successfully create the Windows partition with Boot Camp (v2.0) and then Windows install begins. However, during the setup process it hangs and then eventually throws an error showing a blue screen. There has been a different error each time I've tried to install. I've booted in OSX and then deleted the Windows partition through Boot Camp and then attempted the process from the beginning five separate times and each time I get an error during the initial install phase.
Its not a matter of the installation CD because i borrowed 3 differnt copies from some friends and i still have the same issues.
Once, I managed to actually start windows XP however it was full of errors probably as parts of it weren't properly installed due to the the blue screens that made me reboot several times.
Am I the only one having this problem??
Is this a matter of the hardware? Can you think of any possible solution?
(I used NTFS did everything propperly I'm 100% sure)(I tried FAT as well)(still nothing)
PLEASE HELP

Can you read and write from your optical drive? I would have it checked by burning something to it and seeing if it can be read.
I have noted a link, with some information that may be helpful, for you to check out.

I would repair permissions before your next attempt too.
If this fails, I would contact Apple.

Hi
What BSOD code you get exactly?
Which OS you are using?
Maybe its a driver problem. Have you checked the device manager for yellow exclamation marks?
Can you boot in safe mode?

Satellite P20-771: Blue screen error message after OS reinstalling

I have a laptop Satellite P20-771 / Pentium 4 3.40GHz (800/HTT) / XP Home/ 17' with nVidia Geo5700 driver.
As I had some problems with software, and I reinstalled everything using the provided CDs. Unfortunately the computer keeps malfunctioning giving me blue screen errors, that are due (this comes out when I sumbit the error to Microsoft) to device drivers. I updated everything (I hope) from the Toshiba page, but I am not an expert and I am worried that I missed something or that something has not been loaded in the right order or that the setting are incorrect.
Thank in advance for your help
Roberto

Hello
I have also P20 (red one) and have never had any problem after using provided recovery media. According to your posting there must be two possible reasons for blue screen:
1. you have installed some additional software that causes bluescreen or
2. there is some hardware component responsible for that (new memory module or maybe some external device connected to the unit)
Sorry but I dont see any other reason. On this way it is not easy to give precise answer and we can just speculate why this happen.

Satellite A300D-1EI - blue screen error - display drivers had failed

I 've bought my laptop a month ago.
Everything is working great except two "blue screen" errors caused by the graphics card.
Both were when the laptop was connected with TV through S-video port.
First was when the laptop display turned off after 15 minutes while watching a movie, on resume said that display drivers had failed and then I got the blue screen. Then I updated the display drivers from ATI's website and set the laptop display not to turn off.
All were ok with no problems, until last night when I got another message that display drivers had failed followed by a blue screen.
I am wondering if this is a driver's problem or is something wrong with my graphics card.
System Info:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T8400 @ 2.26 GHz
Memory (RAM): 3.00 GB
System Type: 32-bit Windows Vista Home Premium
Display Adapter: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470

So long you use ATI driver from ATI support page there is no possibility to say anything about it.
This driver is not tested and Toshiba cannot offer any help about it.
So what you can do is to install OS again using recovery media and see what will happen in the future. Please test it intensively with clean preinstalled operating system. Don't install anything that can have some negative influence to this game or additional applications, codecs or something similar.
Test it please and let us know if the problem persists.
When you want to watch movies on TV at first switch to the TV and then start DVD player.

Satellite A100-998: Blue Screen error - nv4_disp.dll infinite loop

I bought this laptop a month ago and I have a serious problem with 3d applications, 3ds max and video games. I receive a blue screen saying
Error message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER
nv4_disp.dll
STOP: 0x000000EA (0x8408E6B8, 0x88D33F60, 0xBAF7BCBC, 0x00000001)
(hope i noted down correctly) and it says something about "that this device caught in an infinite loop)
I downloaded the latest drivers for my nvidia display Forceware 84.68 (GeForce Go 7300, 512ram)from Toshiba but nothing changed. Any suggestions ? What is the problem? the performance is really good until the blue screen appears, so i don't see why this happens...
The laptop came with windows xp media center edition.
Thanks in advance.

Did you ever get an answer? When i took my laptop home, the first thing i did once it was setup was test various 3d programs, because i bought it to do my 3d work on as well as having something mobile for work. I got that stop error, called toshiba and was told to uninstall and reinstall the graphics driver. Sounded like a fob but i did it anyway, and it had no effect. It seems like there's nothing i can do as Nvidia says they don't support it, it's a toshiba problem, and toshiba swears it can't be their fault.
I used to see it on my desktop (before it went to computer heaven) until i updated the driver (a new one came out), and then i never got it again. From what toshiba tech support told me, it sounds like they won't be updating the driver for the go 7300 as it's regarded as too old? I'm pretty disappointed as my search of reviews of the product never revealed this flaw.
One person who i talked to advised me to disable Hardware Acceleration, but wihout that i might as well saved money and gotten a cheapy graphics card. The price difference between a notebook with this card and one with the onboard intel type was huge.
The first notebook i bought had a faulty dvd drive and i returned it for this one. I cringe at the thought of calling toshiba again and having them tell me to return it to them as if it was a hardware failure, when it sounds like a poorly written driver is causing the STOP.

Satellite A135-s4527-blue screen error

I have recently developed a major problem with my laptop. When I turn it on, it runs through the Toshiba screen and then to a blue screen that tells me a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down. The technical information reads as follows: STOP: 0x0000c1F5 (0x00000000,0x00000000,0x00000000,0x00000000)
I have tried to start in safe mode but sends me back to this screen. Tried recovery discs and they seemed to load but then looped back to this screen. Tried to start with F8 and every option after but always loops back to this screen.
I took it in to a local computer shop. They also tried all of the above and told me that they recently had the exact model in with the exact problem and they had to put a new motherboard in. (They didn't charge me cause they didn't fix anything.)
Now I am faced with the decision to replace the motherboard and hope that's the problem. OR put that money toward the purchase of a new computer...which is what I'm leaning toward.
Any suggestions?

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

HP Pavillion DV9700 - Vista 64bit - "Unmountable Boot Volume"

Hi there,
The problem I have with my DV9700 is it will no longer boot. It was working great, but the other night, I had to do a hard re-boot, and then it failed to start with a blue screen with "Unmountable Boot Volume". This is with the original Vista 64 bit Home Premium version. I chose the option "Self Recovery" but it just finishes up sitting there continually scanning for something?
The hard drive is the original factory installed setup. My question is, how do I get my machine back up and running please? I have a Windows Vista Backup that would run each week to an external 2TB USB drive, but I am guessing that this will not recreate an exact image of my computers state? I would also need to have Vista running to use the backup? Some years ago (2010), I created a complete backup to about 20 DVD's, but I am not sure how to use them as they are for recovery I think?
It looks like I need to buy a new hard drive but how do I go about using the backups I have to install to a new drive? Also, what is the largest hard drive I can use? Should I buy a SSD drive? I wanted at least a 1TB primary drive. Fry's Electronics has a Hybrid drive where the disk cache is solid state making it more affordable. I was thiking of getting one of these?
I would like to use my old original drive as a secondary drive if it is even possible to access its files. I have ordered a SATA caddy so I can mount it into the unused drive bay of the DV9700.
Anyway, I would truly appreciate any help please?
Thanks a million!!!

T60: "Unmountable Boot Volume" when I try to boot up.

Hi !
Last night, when I've been working on my T60 all day, i wanted to restart my computer before I was burning a CD.
And now my computer can't boot, there comes a Blue screen just before my windows vista-login, and right after it has loaded the first bit of windows.
The blue screen says "Unmountable Boot Volume".
Then I've tried to run the Lenovo Recovery Tool (Recue and Recovery 4), but it's not able to find my windows installation or harddrive.
I've tried to boot from a Ubuntu Live CD, and there it is possible to find my harddrive and all of my files.
Does anyone know a way, to fix this problem, so that I can come back to my Windows.
Best Regards
Martin

Make sure that the Time Capsule is not backing up at the time.
On you Mac....open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltiies > AirPort Utility
Click the Disk icon at the top of the window
Click the Disks tab just below the Advanced icon
Click Disconnect All Users
That should reset things and allow backups to start again and run normally.

IdeaPad U430 unmountable Boot Volume

My Laptop is not working.
When I turn it on, after Lenovo logo I see a msg "Your PC ran in to a problem and need to restart...... search online for this error Unmountable Boot Volume."
Then automatically PC go to Auto Repair but after few seconds that msg dissapears.
I selected recovery option but after LEnovo logo nothing come on the screen.
I boot up with usb recovery media then also I can not see anything on the screen after logo.
What I can do
Thanks

Hi Nalinpr,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with unmountable boot volume in your Lenovo U430 laptop.
If your BIOS settings are configured to force the faster UDMA modes, this error may occur. In this situation, restart your computer and enter the BIOS and load the "fail-safe" default settings and reboot.
If neither of these issues are the cause for the Unmountable Boot Volume, then the issue most likely is caused by a damaged BOOT.INI file in the root directory of the boot drive or file system corruption.
Follow the steps below to correct these file system issues:
1) Start your computer with your windows 7 or any operating system which you have installed in the system CD-ROM,
2) When the Welcome to Setup screen appears, press R to Repair the installation using the Recovery Console
3) If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer, select the Windows installation you want to access
4) Type the administrator password when you are prompted, if no administrator password is set then just press Enter
5) At the command prompt, type CHKDSK /R and then press Enter
6) Once CHKDSK has finished checking and repairing the hard drive, type EXIT and press Enter to restart your computer
If this procedure does not work, repeat it and use the fixboot command in step 5 instead of the chkdsk /r command. FIXBOOT writes a new partition boot sector to the system partition. The fixboot command is only available when you are using the Recovery Console.
As you also mentioned that the system hangs at Lenovo logo please try to remove the hard drive if possible and try to boot to BIOs and check, also try to run the LSC diagnostics.
Hope this helps. Do post back if issue persists!
Best regards,
Ashwin.S
