OK, This is my sons laptop. The other day all of ours computers did the windows auto update. All were fine at restart except my sons laptop. It will not go on his desk top at all. I get an error ...

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've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If the 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 new updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup options, and then select Safe Mode.

Technical information:
*** Stop: 0x000000ED (0x812c5988, 0xC0000006, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

I'm not sure if those "0"'s are supposed to be "Q"'s. They are all the same tho.

How do I fix this? Also. Please EASY computer english. Novice. blink.gif

Yes, follow the steps I recommended for the other machine, regarding "chkdsk /r" and "FixBoot".

Keep us posted with your progress.
