My pc crashed and wouldn;t boot to windows, kept getting the blue screen error:
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
and I had to recover using chkdsk /r and fixboot...Chkdsk said that it found and fixed errors and fixboot said the boot sector was corupted. I seem to be running fine now but I am a little worried. I hear some sounds once in a while, a few clicks...but not the extreme clicking like I had before with an IBM Deskstar (Deathstar) that crapped out. I have an 2nd hd I formated to try mandrake but I new the drive most likely had problems and its now just sitting dead as I went back to the single drive and wiped out LILO on hd1. Anyways, I am gonna take out that dead hd2 to make sure where the infrequent(once or twice a day if any) sound/click could be coming from. But I am more concerned that I had the error...the file and boot sector corruption. Has anyone else had this error before? Was it ultimatly a sign leading to a dead hard drive?
btw WD800JB about a year old
