WWF Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 Hi, i just done a fdisk(spliting my 30gb harddisk into 4gb and 26gb) and a full format on my pc After that i restart my computer and booted my pc using WinXP cd<= Corp edition(Win XP Pro) It started to detect the various hardware,...... After that it prompt to select the drive that i want to install to It display the following info 1)c: 4000mb[Fat32] 2)d: 26000[Fat 32] I selected the first option After that i think it promtp whether to convert o NTFS or FAt OR leave the current file system alone. I choose the option to leave the files system alone(not converting to NTFS or FAt), still use FAT32 After that setup begins to copy the necessary files,.... and then it shows a countdown timer and begin to restart the pc. After the pc restarted, it show the started up logo of WinXP Then there was this erro msg that show up(Blue screen) 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 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 updates you might need If this problem continues, disables or rename any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If your need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup options and then safe mode. Technical Information ***Stop: 0x000000ED (0x813ABA60, 0xC0000185, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) I have not overclocked my pc. Right now i have reinstalled Win98 and try to do an upgrade. It still gives me the same error msg. I used the compatitablility check in the WinXP setup and everything is fine. Do i have to use the Dynamic Upfate option, so that i can have the latest/updatde setup files? My PC specs are AMD Athlon 900mhz MSI K7T Turbo(No RAID) Twinmos 256mb sdram !BM 30 GB harddisk MSI GeForce2 MX Creative Sound Blaster Live Value. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Fil Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 It may well be that the partition isn't actually active. Go back into FDisk and select .. Select Active Partition. Then choose your XP-intended partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWF Posted August 31, 2001 Author Share Posted August 31, 2001 It has already been set active, if not i would not be able to reinstall win98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fil Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 Sorry, thats what i get for rushing into a reply without reading it properly. Sorry. I recently had the same error when i upgraded my home computer, new chip + m/b, i found that formatting the hdd and reinstalling win98 (didn't install any drivers when asked) then installing 2k upgrade over the top fixed it. I know this probably isn't much help but just check that all the cables are securely connected to the hdd's and m/b. Other than that, i would try the dynamic update option. Sorry if this isn't much help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this isn't much help. Everyone do make mistakes once in a while, i dun blame for rushing into a reply cos my post is a bit long with those error msg. I will check my ata 100 cable frm the harddisk to the mainboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWF Posted August 31, 2001 Author Share Posted August 31, 2001 It was the raid that is giving me the problems. My mainboard MSI K7T Turbo has option Raid<= i didn't get one with raid. Hence i need to diable it in the Bios. Thanks for all the help people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
