Unmountable Boot Volume

Comment:
I was in start>run>msconfig, and took some items off startup in windows xp, maybe accidently doing something else to that 'msconfig' window, not knowing about it. Once I restarted I get 'unmountable boot volume' (in a blue screen). And it sits there...any idea how to fix it?(get it to boot properly into windows) I've already tried chkdsk /p and chkdsk /r and those two did nothing in the repair section from booting from the cd. I really do not want to take the route of formatting, so if someone out there can help me out, plz!

I've tried the previous two solutions, and got the same error message on startup.

Try inserting your XP CD in the drive, boot up select recovery console from CD, hit R for repair, try chkdsk /p, if that doesn't help type fixboot X (X being the drive windows is installed on).
Let us know how you did. Kevin.
