About this tag
The boot volume is the partition or drive from which Windows starts. On WindowsForum.com, users discuss issues like the unmountable boot volume blue screen error (stop code 0x000000ED), which prevents Windows from loading. Common troubleshooting steps include using the Windows recovery environment to run chkdsk /r, repairing the boot configuration, or formatting the boot volume from the command prompt.

    Windows 7 0x000000ED UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME Error on Netbook running XP

    I have a netbook (Dell Mini 10) and am getting the BSOD. Anyone know how to help? I've done a bit of searching and it looks like we should do a chkdsk/r, but currently, I can't get it to work on any of my F8 start up options (nor have I ever done it before). Please help!
