| OK FOLKS HERES ONE THAT STUCK 3 MICROSOFT TECHS AND 2 OF MACH SPEED TECHS AND MYSELF INCLUDED... I JUST BROUGHT NEW PARTS FOR MY PC, A MOTHERBOARD, CPU , HARD DRIVE , RAM. WHEN I GO TO INSTALL Windows XP ON THE NEW HARD DRIVE I GET A UNMOUNTABLE BOOT VOLUME ERROR. NOW I NO THEY HAVE SOME STUFF POSTED ON THE MICROSOFT SITE ABOUT THIS BUT NONE OF IT APPLIES TO ME. WHY? BECAUSE I USE 3 SEPERATE HARD DRIVES( WESTERN DIGITAL EIDE, SEAGATE ULTRA ATA AND NOW A MAXTOR SATA) TWO SEPERATE MOTHER BOARDS AND I EVEN TRIED TO INSTALL WINDOWS 2000. AND NOTHING....
I MADE SURE THAT I HAD THE RIGHT 80 CONDUCTOR WIRE FOR THE IDE DRIVE AND NOW IM USING THE MAXTOR SATA DRIVE AND NOTHING, I SET THE BIOS TO DEFAULT AND EVEN TRIED TO DISABLE UMDA ON THE DRIVE AND MOTHERBOARD. ALL I KEEP GETTING IS THE UNMOUTABLE BOOT VOLUME ERROR... FOR THE SATA DRIVE I MADE A FLOPPY OF THE DRIVERS AND STILL THE SAME ERROR...... 
IM LOSING IT! IF ANYBODY CAN HELP PLEASE DO. OR IM A HAVE TO PUT THESE PARTS UP ON EBAY... CUZ THE REASON I WANTED TO BUILD MY OWN PC IS FOR MONEY REASONS AND ITS STARTING TO BECOME MORE THEN WHAT I BARGAIN FOR |
