UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

Asked by selvasolimar in Windows XP Operating System, General Computer Systems, Personal Computers

Tags: DELL, OPTIPLEX, GX280, Windows XP, Pentium 4, UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

I have a Dell, Optiplex GX280 using Windows XP. On June 9th, after working on photographs for about 12 hours, I walked away and went to bed. The next morning, I moved my mouse to get back to work and the PC had rebooted (?). I leave it on fifty percent of the time and do clean-ups about every three to four days with AVG-Anti Spyware, Ad-AwareSE Personal & Windows Defender.
I received the message enclosed, what I now understand to be, the dreaded blue screen of death! I run my antiques and collectibles business from that computer, so needless to say I'm TOTALLY FREAKED, since, I, as many others, had not made a backup disk! The first couple of times I tried to reboot in "Safe Mode", "Last Known Good Configuration" and was forwarded to the blue screen each time (I've tried it 4 times now). I don't want to risk losing any data (about 5000 photographs, payroll, everything!) by trying the wrong thing if any can be salvaged.
I'm a beginner, and am fairly sure that I'm computer illiterate, but can make my way around with very precise instructions (ok, I like gadgets and am pretty handy for a gurl). Otherwise, you are speaking another language to me. I'm on a limited budget, so any free or inexpensive solutions would reeeeally be appreciated. PLEASEpleasePLEASE HELP! wah.Start Free Trial
