Title: Unmountable Boot Volume Error
Post by: Nomoreheroes on Tuesday, May 3, 2016, 20:41:59
Getting this on the boy's laptop which is running Windows 10.

How can I fix it?

PS Don't have a Windows 10 disk as it was upgraded from Windows 8.

You'll need a startup media, either a DVD or USB.

You can then run a restore/repair. If that doesn't work, the HDD is probably toast.

Blue screen error.

Eugh, doesn't sound good.

Hope that helps.

The messages change but the end result is always a duff drive.

Drive is fucked, save yourself endless hassle and replace it. I hope anything important was backed up.

Thanks chaps. Just found out that the little bugger slammed the laptop down on the floor in a fit of rage, which is what's knackered the HDD I suspect!

Yep that will have done it.
