I was trying to fix a computer for somebody and he said his hard drive was corrupt, which may be the case, but I'm not sure if I have to reinstall windows. The error message I get when windows is about to start is "Unmountable boot device" and I get a blue screen. So I put the hard drive in my computer and setup checked the drive and fixed some things and then I was able to to view data on it, so the drive appears to be working, but it won't boot for some reason. Does that mean I have to reinstall XP?

Jump to PostWhat data is on the BSOD? This can determine the actual cause of the boot problem. The code that is required is this part: 0x000.....
This line of code is the most important to diagnosing the problem with the computer.
Jump to Postif no important data you have then better reinstall windows
