XP failing to boot with "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME". by McNutcase2004-12-15 13:41:10
  Linux killed mine... by Pandilex 2004-12-15 14:41:08
... I had to load up with a bootdisk and wipe the MBR with:
fdisk /mbr

It happened a few weeks after I tried installing linux, and again a few weeks later after I installed a different distro. Just turned it on one day, and *poof* there was the error message :(

I nearly cried the first time it happened because I thought I'd lost all my data!

Also, I got that error yesterday when I bought a new USB Caddy and left it plugged in. It tried to boot of external devices first, and voila that caused the identical error.
