The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Getting STOP screen when removing a data drive?

Asked by dudleydocker in Windows XP Operating System

Tags: unmountable_boot_volume

have two WD drives hooked up to an ATA card as data drives. My boot drive is an 18 GB Seagate SCSI running off of an Adaptec 39160 controller card.

So I went to remove one of the WD drives and received a STOP message after rebooting, specifically:

UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME STOP: OX000000ED,0X8730C2D8,OXC0000185, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

I was able to boot into safe mode after reconnecting the drive and did a system restore which brought me back OK.

So then I uninstalled the drive (under System, Hardware, Device Manager) before removing it, but received the same STOP message at reboot.

Now I can't even boot into safe mode to do a system restore.

Why would a data drive be affecting my OS which is on another drive?

BTW, this is the first system in which I've had an ATA controller card; is there more to removing an IDE drive when it's run through one of these vs. the IDE channel on the mobo?

The mobo is an Asus A7N8X with an XP2800
